The viola was never meant to be the instrument you remember.

Live strings for weddings and ceremonies, and acoustic viola over DJ sets.

Tell me the date

What are you planning?

A wedding or private event

A proposal, a ceremony, a first dance. Solo, duo or quartet — and a song that matters to you, arranged for viola.

A club night or festival

Strings over a live DJ set, played in the room and not from a backing track. Rooftops, clubs and festivals.

Enter

I play for the few seconds when a room full of people who do not know each other feel the same thing at the same time. It turns out those seconds do not care where they happen: at ceremonies, at private events, and live over DJ sets in clubs. I do not grade rooms — a dance floor gets the same preparation and respect as a concert hall.

The genre is not the point. Something happening in the room is.

About me

Limits are trained, not inherited.

I picked up the viola at 17 — late enough to learn resilience, open enough to play anywhere since.

Nine years on stage: symphony orchestras in Argentina, recital halls, ceremonies in vineyards, and clubs at four in the morning. I compose, write every arrangement I play, and put together the group a night or a day actually needs.
