Introduction
My name is Nick and I play violin, viola and guitar all proficiently. As a violin virtuoso, I have performed with many symphony orchestras as violin soloist as well as a guitar soloist.
Here’s a link to a violin solo that I did of the Beethoven Violin Concerto with symphony orchestra.

I was in the HBO series Vinyl episode #4 recently on violin. I also play in 3 bands right now – A Linda Ronstadt Cover band, Greg Connors and Love Crushed Velvet. I’m also a music video producer. Here’s a link to a video I just produced – all the violin playing was improvised, and I produced the audio as well.

As a versatile player, I play all genres and have lots of acoustic and electric equipment.
I have also been in music videos for popular groups like the Rascal Flatts and have performed with Art Garfunkel, Smokey Robinson, Shirley Jones, Kenny Loggins, Kenny Rogers, Josh Groban, America, Natalie Cole, Stylistics, Delfonics, Chi-Lites, McFadden & Whitehead, Kool & the Gang, and also many famous classical musicians like Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, Joshua Bell, Yo-Yo Ma, etc.
I have a recording studio and electric violins. One of them is acrylic and has LED lights on it. I have exceptional acoustic violins and could do a combo of acoustic and electric combined with karaoke tracks for a very entertaining time.

The Four Seasons Concert
I am a viola in the Cortlandt Chamber Orchestra. On March 9th, 2024, at Croton on Hudson’s Asbury Methodist church, we played The Four seasons, with Nick performing solo violin. For me it was a lifetime experience. Nick lives the music, and the violin is his unique personal voice. As his fingers flew over the strings, his face had the peaceful expression of bliss! What a pro.
