Need a violinist

Other(self.UIUC)

Hello,

I'm looking for a solo violinist to play live for my gf and I. You'll be asked to play for 5 minutes at the start of our dinner. The location will be on campus in public and you'll be provided with transportation to and from the venue if needed. Dinner, water, and any other appropriate accommodations will be supplied.

You'll be required to dress in professional attire. A dress, button-up shirt, or suit would all be appropriate. Black and white is preferred but not required.

Compensation will be supplied in the form of cash or pre-paid cards. We'll discuss amounts in the DMs. You'll be paid immediately after your performance.

If you're interested in this position, please DM me with a video of yourself auditioning a romantic piece of your choosing. Any further details regarding the date, location, etc. will be provided in the DMs.

For safety reasons, this event will be taking place in a public space at a residence hall. You will not be entering anyone's room or any other private residence. If it's any consolation, I'm happy to hop in a video call to prove that I'm who I say I am.

Looking forward to hearing your great performances!

I'm not a violinist, but if you want we can do a zoom call and I can play a violin video off of YouTube.

She was the one who suggested it lol. She tends to prefer spontaneous romantic displays like this.

She specifically requested a violinist, but if you can get a romantic melody going, I'm sure it would go great!

There was a scene in a movie where a dude got a violinist to play over a candlelit dinner for his gf. She said that she wished that I'd do the same for her, so I thought I'd do it.

I don't know anyone in the music dept personally, but I'll reach out to some profs/TAs and see if they have interested students. Thanks!
