repertoire
The repertoire may include classical music, ceremonial pieces, film music, pop, jazz, soul, funk, Italian music, dance, house and contemporary pieces rearranged for the violin.
For weddings, the set list can accompany the entrance, the ceremony, the signing of the register, the exit, the pre-dinner drinks, the reception, the first dance, the cutting of the cake and the party. For corporate or private events, the set can have a more lounge-style, elegant or energetic feel, with tracks chosen according to the audience, venue and style of the event. Special requests should be agreed in advance, so that we can assess how the piece will sound on the violin and prepare a well-organised set list.
Experience and Features
Laura Calcagno is a professional violinist with a classical background and extensive experience in events. Her career began with violin lessons as a child, continued with a diploma from the Conservatoire, and has since branched out into more contemporary styles, ranging from pop and jazz to house and crossover performances.
This package is designed for weddings, religious and civil ceremonies, receptions, pre-dinner drinks, cake-cutting, corporate events, formal dinners and private parties. The violin can remain delicate and ceremonial during the most emotional moments, or take on a more dynamic, theatrical role when the event calls for energy, presence and interaction with a DJ or other musicians.
The profile remains that of a solo violinist: acoustic or electric violin, an elegant presence, a customisable repertoire and the ability to provide musical accompaniment for various occasions throughout the day, whilst maintaining a consistent musical style.
Equipment and logistics
Equipment and assembly times
The basic set-up centres on an acoustic or electric violin, with amplification and backing tracks as required, depending on the context. For ceremonies and intimate gatherings, a simple set-up may suffice; for large venues, cocktail receptions, parties or sets with a DJ, it is advisable to finalise the sound system, power supply, performance area and rehearsal times in advance.
To ensure everything runs smoothly, you need a stable venue, protection if the event is outdoors, easy access to the performance area, details of the venue’s location and agreement on the permitted sound levels. Technical set-up is usually straightforward, but it must be tailored to the number of guests, the duration of the event, the acoustic conditions and the presence of other service providers.
Accessibility and parking
For villas, country houses, churches, reception venues, hotels, restaurants or outdoor spaces, it is advisable to arrange for parking or a unloading point, a route to the set-up location, electricity where required, shelter from the sun or rain, an on-site contact person, and times for set-up, a trial run and dismantling.
Other logistical requirements
Based in Latiano, in the province of Brindisi, with coverage across Puglia and availability for Bari, Brindisi, Taranto, Foggia and Lecce. The service may also be considered for longer-distance engagements where the date, duration, logistics and musical programme allow.
The quote depends on the package requested, the number of musical numbers, the duration of the performance, the use of an electric violin, whether a DJ or other musicians are involved, travel costs, technical requirements and the complexity of the venue.
