Thank you for your interest in my violin performance music services.

Strollingviolinist.com is a competitively priced entertainment alternative to DJs in the Denver and Frontrange area. Special requests are a specialty. If you need special transcriptions or arrangements of music, they are included with my wedding performances at no additional charge. Standard selections to suit ceremonies from most tradition are also available. And, if you like, I can choose or suggest music for your event based on my previous experiences.

Working alone as a solo violinist allows me the greatest flexibility to draw upon my varied background to please a wide range of musical tastes, and to provide the best customer service possible. Yet, larger groups can be arranged on special request, subject to the availability of proven players on a given date. 

Experience
I have been playing for almost 50 years. A large number
of my engagements are  wedding ceremonies. Over time, I have especially developed effective solutions for the usual problems associated with outdoor performances.

  • Where loudness is needed and volume is the most important factor, I offer the additional option of using an electric violin with 60 watt amplifier.

  • The highly adaptable strolling violin is well suited for receptions, memorial ceremonies, private parties, corporate events, birthdays, holiday parties, caroling or sing alongs, contra dancing, square dances, nursing homes, hospitals, libraries, and schools.

  • My Educational Presentations can be enhanced by including examples and explanations of history and styles of violin and fiddle music.

Credentials
My education and experiences have included:

  • Private studies with master violinists, Dominick Saltarelli, Marcus Lehmann, Sebastian Campesi, and most recently with Eugene Fodor.

  • In addition to orchestra and chamber playing, my performing experiences cover most popular styles of music and most types of groups, including country, folk, bluegrass, rock, blues, and jazz standards.

  • Masters Certificate in Songwriting from Berklee College of Music.

  • Membership in the Denver Musicians Association, the Local chapter of the American Federation of Musicians.

  • Affiliated with the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP).

  • My original music is published by Licksun-Lyrics.

At Your Service,

Sammy King
