Ilana: Acoustic/Electric Violin & Ensembles

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.
