Are you searching for lively and contemporary music for a dynamic party? Or a sophisticated musician with more than two decades of experience performing at various events, from San Francisco City Hall to Google HQ, and alongside notable artists like ODESZA and Michael Bublé? A highly skilled, conservatory-educated musician who has played with numerous orchestras and ensemble groups, both locally and globally?
As one of the most renowned violinists in the region, I can perform for you solo, or in duets with a cello or electric guitar. My diverse repertoire encompasses everything from classical to contemporary R&B, rock, pop, and blues. You may opt for a full band sound, complemented by iPad tracks or a DJ, for even more high energy.
I am equally dedicated to teaching violin to students of all ages and levels, welcoming children and adults to my studio in the East Bay. My pupils often describe me as a patient and inspirational teacher, who uses an experiential and playful approach to learning, emphasizing proper technique and personalized goal-setting.
I love connecting with audiences, regardless of their size, and treasure the dialogue in every violin lesson - whether with a young child or an adult. I look forward to meeting and working with you.

Ilana was absolutely fantastic! Initially, we planned a rather laid-back wedding ceremony but decided to incorporate some music at the eleventh hour. Luckily, we discovered Ilana who surpassed our expectations by a mile! We handed her a mix of diverse songs to play on the solo violin (as no amplified sound was permitted), and she did an excellent job of accommodating our musical preferences. Thank you, Ilana, for making our big day unforgettable!

Ilana is an incredible individual and a skilled violinist. Despite the uncertainty on my end, she went out of her way on a busy weekend to travel all the way down south and make my event possible. Her kindness knows no bounds. Her mesmerizing violin performance was thoroughly enjoyed by every member of my family. It was an unforgettable experience, and all thanks to Ilana for making it happen ❤️❤️.
