We’ve serenaded hundreds of celebrations since 2010.

Lindsay Skipper, Owner & Strolling Violinist
I grew up in a musical family in Raleigh, NC and founded Elegant Violin in 2010. For the first decade, I was the sole violinist…and also moonlit as a Spanish teacher. As demand grew and my husband’s ministry job took us to Cincinnati, I built a curated team of exceptional violinists to help more events sound unforgettable.
In addition to leading Elegant Violin, I enjoy homeschooling my two boys, keeping up my Spanish, and spending time outdoors with my family.
If you're looking for the most luxury musical experience, I'd love to stroll for your event through our Signature Experience package.
