ElektraBy Mariyana
A live violin experience for weddings, soirées and private gatherings – classical foundation, contemporary feeling, deeply Mediterranean.
An artist for the modern romantic.
A live performance is not background music. It is what makes moments worth remembering.
Classically trained.
Boundlessly contemporary.
Mariyana studied at the Royal Conservatoire, building a foundation in the classical canon before spending a decade performing across Europe – from intimate garden ceremonies in Mallorca to brand activations in Milan and London.
Her repertoire bridges centuries without apology: a Bach partita can open an evening, and a Coldplay arrangement can close it, both feeling equally right, equally alive.

Frequently asked
If you don't see your question here, write to me directly – I read and respond to every message.
The most common questions, in plain language.
Yes – frequently. Travel within Spain is included for most bookings; international engagements are quoted with travel and accommodation as a transparent line item.
Both. Solo acoustic for ceremonies and intimate dinners; amplified solo with backing tracks or a DJ for receptions and brand events. We can also build a small ensemble on request.
Almost always. Send a reference recording when you enquire and I'll let you know within a few days whether a custom arrangement is feasible – and the deadline I'd need to prepare it beautifully.
I bring my own wireless system, in-ear monitors and a discreet PA suitable for up to 200 guests. Larger venues are coordinated with your AV team.
Outdoor sets are wonderful – but require shade for the instrument, a stable surface and a backup plan for weather. We discuss this in detail before confirming.
A signed agreement and 30% retainer secures the date. Final balance is due two weeks prior to the event. Cancellations follow a transparent, fair sliding-scale policy.
