About

Hi, this is Leah!

I’m a classically trained cellist whose musical focus is generating connection and intimacy. Cello creates a wonderful conduit and container for deep feeling; It’s warm, elegant, dignified and sensual. It vibrates your soul! I’d be honored to bring the depth of this magnificent instrument to the special occasions and celebrations in your life.

I’ve been a freelance musician in New York City for over 20 years, performing at venues around the city from Carnegie Hall to Joe’s Pub to Madison Square Garden, with amazing artists such as David Bowie, Trey Anastasio, Blur and Philip Glass. I held the cello chair for Daniel Fish’s Tony Award winning Oklahoma! on Broadway and created and performed the autobiographical song cycle, ThisTree at Prototype 2019, New York City’s annual festival of visionary opera-theatre and music-theatre works. AND, I’ve been playing cello for wedding ceremonies since I was a student at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

I have years of experience creating music for special moments.I take pleasure in helping couples find the perfect music to celebrate their love and style and then beautifully playing these songs for a unique and moving wedding ceremony.And I am fully vaccinated and boosted!

Hire Her!!!!

I can not say enough good things about Leah and my experience with her and her friend who played violin!!! From working with me on figuring out songs to play (and being able to play our song as I walked down the aisle) to being so quick with replies and being able to get a violinist last minute when I decided, all the way to how unbelievably exceptional she played!!! (My family could not stop saying how great of an experience and how beautifully they played)!!! Thank you Leah!!!

Wonderful experience!

Leah and the violinist who played with her on my wedding were the best! They helped us to play wedding songs including the prelude, ceremony, and postlude which took nearly an hour. Their playing was absolutely beautiful. My husband and I highly recommend her!

Leah's playing was gorgeous and she made the ceremony that much more ethereal and lovely with her skill. Accommodating and helpful throughout the process, I wouldn't change a thing!
