Viola Player
Liam performed as a violinist during our reception for our wedding late in October of 2022. He intrigued our guests with his positive demeanour and more importantly, with the way he performed as a violinist. He did exactly what we expected him to do! He was punctual and arrived prepared. Liam was flexible from the very beginning, extremely responsive via email and travelled to Mississauga to provide his service. Liam provided a list of popular songs played at weddings, which my husband and I found highly convenient. It enabled us to select songs much easily and quickly. It was also great having Liam play requested songs such as Aladdin “A Whole New World.” Even though it wasn’t’ on his list of songs he played it without a doubt. You won’t regret services from Liam! We highly recommend him and will always refer him to our friends and family. Thank you Liam for playing an imperative role at our wedding, you made our dream come true!

Response from Liam Calhoun - Acoustic/Electric Violin:
Thank you Jessica! I had no plans at the time of doing a lot more solo violin playing with tracks, but it's partially in thanks to you and Alberto booking me and really enjoying the result!
Liam was a welcomed addition to our volunteer appreciation luncheon! Liam was easy to work with through the booking process, and provided a long list of songs for us to choose from. He arrived early, dressed professionally, and brought a level of excitement to the event that made our volunteers feel extra special! Everyone enjoyed the musical treat.

What to Expect
Hiring a violinist who performs live at events with backing tracks can bring a unique and captivating musical experience to any occasion. When the violinist tailors their sound to a specific vibe desired by the client and fine-tunes their sound system, clients and event planners can expect an extraordinary performance.
I understand the importance of creating a customized atmosphere that aligns with the client's vision. By discussing the desired vibe and mood of the event, I can curate a musical experience that perfectly complements the occasion, whether it's a sophisticated gala, a romantic wedding, or a lively corporate gathering. With their ability to select appropriate songs and type of accompanying tracks, the violinist seamlessly blends their live performance with the desired ambiance, creating a cohesive and captivating musical journey.
My commitment to delivering exceptional sound quality is paramount. I work closely with the event's audio engineer or sound technician to fine-tune their sound system, ensuring that my my sound output is properly amplified and balanced. This attention to detail guarantees an amazing auditory experience for the audience, where every note and nuance can be heard with clarity and precision.
About
I've been playing the violin since age 7, and started performing with other string players at weddings and other events since age 15. After establishing my violin + piano duo, The Fox Duo, in 2015, I've been requested more and more often to perform as a solo violinist accompanied by tracks. I love the diversity of music that I'm able to play with this type of performance, and my 11+ years experience as a hobbyist music producer allows me to craft interesting electric violin tones and edit backing tracks to create a super polished and musically diverse set.
