A chuppah has an order, a rhythm, and moments that carry meaning. Knowing when to lift for the hora, how a niggun should breathe, and what Od Yishama means to the family standing there: that is what turns music into a moment your guests will never forget.
The pieces that accompany the chuppah itself, in the order of the ceremony.
Od Yishama at the entrance, Im Eshkachech before the glass, Siman Tov u'Mazal Tov the moment after. You will not need to talk me through the running order. I already know it.
The heart of my repertoire — music that sounds different when it is played from inside the tradition rather than off the page.
Flying a violinist in from Israel sounds complicated. It is not. I handle flights, equipment and coordination with your venue and officiant, and arrive a day early so nothing is rushed. For a Jewish celebration abroad, having a musician who grew up inside the tradition is often the detail guests remember most.
