Exclusive String Performance for the Metro
"Her music choices were perfect and so many people said they found it incredibly moving as they walked into the room hearing her play against the backdrop of our VAW digital exhibition." — Deputy Editor, Metro.
The Event
Secret Strings was booked to provide an exclusive solo violin performance for The Metro, accompanying the launch of their Violence Against Women (VAW) digital exhibition. The performance set the tone for guests as they entered the room, playing against the backdrop of the exhibition itself.
Why Solo Violin Suited This Moment
For an event with this kind of emotional weight, a solo violin performance offers something a larger ensemble often can't: an intimate, unaccompanied sound that draws guests in rather than filling the room with volume. The feedback from The Metro's Deputy Editor speaks to exactly that effect — guests described the performance as "incredibly moving" as they encountered it alongside the exhibition.
Solo Violin for Corporate and Media Events
This kind of booking is a good example of how a solo violinist can be used for corporate and media events beyond the traditional wedding or party setting:
- Setting an emotional or reflective tone for a launch, exhibition, or memorial event
- Providing a sophisticated, understated welcome for guests as they arrive
- Complementing visual or digital installations, as with The Metro's VAW exhibition
- Working in spaces where a smaller, more intimate sound is more appropriate than a full ensemble

Can the music be tailored to the tone of a specific event?
Absolutely. For this performance, music was chosen specifically to suit the exhibition and the atmosphere The Metro wanted to create — we work closely with clients to select repertoire that fits the moment.
