"They are outstanding musicians with a broad repertoire and were able to seamlessly meet our vision blending both modern and contemporary."

"Outstanding Musicians"

-Donnie

I'm a proud member of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra. Mom, wife, obsessive knitter (I have too much yarn but it’s so pretty!) and I love chocolate.

I have spent my life (since age 3) playing music. From the very beginning, I understood its power to convey emotion, shape atmosphere and create an unspoken connection between people. Music has always been more than sound to me. It’s a living, creative energy that surrounds and transforms every moment.

Rooted in a deep love for Charleston and over 20 years of performing at weddings and events across the Lowcountry, Charleston Elite Musicians is my way of sharing this city’s beauty and charm through thoughtfully curated, personal musical moments.
