XinOu Wei Strings-New York City based string ensemble
My string orchestra-"XinOu Wei Strings” performs regularly for major events, weddings, and concerts in New York, at venues such as Carnegie Hall, The Plaza, The Pierre, Cipriani, Capitale, Chelsea Piers, Weylin, Metropolitan Club, and Ziegfeld Ballroom. I have performed for Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden and H.R.H. Princess Madeleine and most recently, I led my 12-piece string orchestra in concert at Carnegie Hall with the legendary pianist Richard Clayderman for his “Timeless Romance” concert tour-one of the biggest shows in North America. We would be the most wonderful choice for your occasion. We are virtuosic players who can play any selection from the entire repertoire in the highest artistic level, be it pop or classical. We are able to perform as solo violinist, duo, trio quintet, string orchestra, as well as strolling violinist. I’m happy to share with you our playlist of songs in which you may choose from, I can also take a number of requests if the songs of choice are not included in my list. Though Something especially close to my heart is Viennese music. I grew up having them in my ears and it is always a highlight for me when asked to present a evening of Viennese music-waltzes, Polkas, Marches, and Operetta excerpts of Lanner, Strauss, Lehar, Ziehrer Schrammel, Heuberger, and Hellmesberger. Many of these works were originally intended, and realized by small ensembles such as a quartet or quintet in Hotels, Cafes, balls, and soirées in Vienna. My great passion is to recreate that for you, played by a small virtuoso group, as it once was, in that imperial city, in the heyday of emperor Franz Josef.
