Booked 32 times on FixTheMusic ⚡
Sabina is available for weddings, marriage proposals, corporate and charity events in London and throughout the UK.
Born in 1989 in Timisoara (Romania), Sabina Joanna started the violin at the age of 4 years old with her mother, an accomplished musician and leader of the Gaudeamus String quartet.
I'm regularly booked to perform for weddings and events at Sheraton Skyline Hotel in London and Thornbury Castle in Bristol, UK.
Later on, she studied violin at Brasov Music College with Professor Maria Mireanu and Maestro Alexandru Tomescu, soloist of the National Radio Bucharest Philharmonic and proved her excellent ability at many national and international violin competitions.
After winning a national competition in 2006, Sabina was awarded the “Constantin Silvestri” Scholarship to study at Pocklington School in York, England, as well as a full music scholarship at Wellington College the following year.
In 2008 she won 2nd prize at the Hickies Reading Young Musician Competition and the opportunity to play with the Reading Symphony Orchestra.
Sabina gave many violin recitals and concerts both as a soloist and as part of different orchestras at many important concert halls across Europe (Greece, Poland, Italy, Germany, France, Spain and UK).
She performed at Royal Festival Hall, St-Martin-in-the-fields, Cadogan Hall, Royal Albert Hall (part of the 1st violin section of the English Chamber Orchestra), Wigmore Hall and many other prestigious venues.
In 2013 she graduated with Honours from the Royal College of Music in London, where she studied with Yossi Zivoni.
During her time at the College, she has attended Masterclasses with Remus Azoitei, Lewis Kaplan (Professor at Julliard School) and had chamber music training with the Chilingirian String Quartet.
She has been heavily actively involved in many orchestral and solo projects, been asked to lead orchestras (King’s College Chamber Orchestra), performing Mozart A Major Concerto as part of a Masterclass Series, as well as having a more commercial and modern approach.
In February 2015 she was commissioned by HBO to play for their Game of Thrones 4th season DVD release event in London.
In September 2015 she also performed in front of almost 1000 people at the G Arena popular snooker themes before a match between Ronnie O’Sullivan and Jimmy White MBE.
In September 2015 she has founded a Violin-Guitar Duo called ‘The Aces’ with the guitarist Cassandra Mathews, also a Royal College of Music Graduate and a month later they recorded a 12 piece album, both audio and video.
Their styles included classical, film music and even arrangements of some pop music.
Sabina is in increasing demand to perform Bollywood style music at weddings and events, so please ask her about her Bollywood violin repertoire.
Songs include Pehla Nasha from Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and Tu Hi Tu from Kick. Sabina can easily learn new ones too.

"Morning Sabina. It was lovely meeting you yesterday. Sorry we didn't get to speak as much as I would have liked. But I wanted to personally say a very big thank you! The music was simply AMAZING!!! Thank you for being a big part of our special day!"

"Hey Sabina. Just wanted to say a big thank you for the amazing performance. My proposal was a special time and I am so glad you were a part of it and made the occasion extra special for all of us. You made us feel all at ease and felt like we have been friends for ages even though we just met. The overall experience was great from the start when we were organising the playlist, keeping in contact, arriving early on the day, introductions where you made me feel at ease and the amazing performance. I couldn't ask for any more. Especially the fact that the proposal went well and she said yes and is now my fiancee. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. You wère very professional and gave an amazing performance. Thanks again, Tan."
– Tan Hing, 13 December 2021, marriage proposal in London Verified booking on FixTheMusic
"It was a surprise for the bride and groom. The couple along with the guests thoroughly loved the performance. After each song she got big cheers from the crowd. Sabina was very flexible and accommodated our requests. We will definitely think of rebooking with FixTheMusic as you guys are quick and very responsive with the whole booking process from quoting, matching and booking. Thanks for making our day special and memorable, Raj."

"I booked Sabina for a wedding proposal at very short notice (the night before!) and was delighted to receive the following feedback from my client: The music was absolutely perfect and beautiful! It went exactly how I planned it and could not have gone any better! Sabina was there on time set up and ready and she played all the songs to perfection at all the right moments! Many many thanks!"

"My dear Sabina. How wonderful you were today. I lost count afterwards of the people singing your praises. Anyone would have thought you and Andrew had accompanied each other for years. Once again many thanks on behalf of David and family. With kindest wishes. John McCormack."
