About

My name is Katya, and I am a professional cellist performing on both acoustic and electric cello for weddings, proposals, drinks receptions, wedding breakfasts, and corporate events across the UK, while based in London.

With over 17 years of experience, I am fully self-contained, bringing my own PA system or a little bluetooth speaker and high-quality backing tracks. You can choose from my broad repertoire of classical, pop, rock, jazz, Bollywood, and contemporary music or I can learn your personal favorite song to make your day truly unique.

I have performed for luxury brands including Dior, Cartier, Rolex, and Chanel, and for celebrities such as Robert Downey Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch. My work also includes recording for films, including Tim Burton movie Beetlejuice 2, as well as performing at iconic venues like Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, and Wigmore Hall.

A winner of national and international awards, I am a graduate of the Royal College of Music and hold an Artist Diploma (Higher master) under Raphael Wallfisch. I regularly perform with orchestras and in chamber concerts, bringing a wide range of repertoire to every event

Whether you want a classical, romantic, or modern twist, I will create a magical soundtrack for your wedding day.

Contact me today to discuss your perfect musical experience.
