Eden Ehm: Violin and Hardanger Fiddle

I am a professional violinist and fiddler available to perform within the Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin tri-state area. (Note: my travel radius is within approximately a 60-minute drive of the tri-state.) A classically trained violinist for 30+ years, I play professionally in several area symphony orchestras and chamber ensembles and perform solo for special events. I have also played the Hardanger fiddle, Norway's national folk instrument, for 15+ years and am available to perform, demonstrate, and lecture about this unique instrument. ***Please view my website and contact me for detailed information!*** For Weddings: - I will work with you to pick meaningful music for each part of your ceremony. This includes 15 minutes of prelude music, family seating and bridal party processional music, the bride's entrance, music during the ceremony, recessional music, and 15 minutes of postlude music. - Attendance at the wedding rehearsal is an additional fee but is not necessary; I have played at hundreds of weddings and will gather information about the size of your bridal party and other details of the service to perfect timing. - Wedding ceremonies are available on solo violin and I perform anything from traditional classical music to Scandinavian folk songs to modern pop songs. I have an extensive repertoire and always take special requests! - A discount will apply when booking cocktail hour music in addition to a wedding ceremony. - Have Norwegian heritage? Folk tunes and bridal marches from your ancestors' region of Norway make a beautiful addition to a wedding! - Looking for a string quartet? I am a founding member of The Rhapsody String Quartet. The Rhapsody String Quartet has its own The Knot profile, but you can also contact me individually about the quartet.
