Events – Live Cello for Special Occasions
A Soundtrack That Sets the Mood (and Never Overpowers It)
Whether it’s a cozy gathering, corporate event, art opening, or elegant dinner party — live cello brings a sense of warmth, sophistication, and soul to any setting.
Since 2018, I’ve performed for all kinds of occasions across New Mexico, creating just the right energy without ever stealing the spotlight. I blend well-known songs, hidden gems, and classical favorites into a seamless flow that enhances your event from the very first note.

Music That Feels Just Right
I’m often told my music is “uplifting without being loud” — and that’s exactly the goal. I’m not here to perform at people. I’m here to create an atmosphere that helps people feel at ease and fully present.
Your guests may not remember every note, but they’ll remember how the room felt.

Hidden Gem: The Cello Effect
I’ve been called “a hidden gem” more than once — partly because cello isn’t what most people expect. But it’s exactly what makes events feel memorable and elevated. It turns background music into something meaningful. Unexpected. Loved.
If that sounds like what you’re looking for — I’d love to play for you.

Whether performing for a large event or a more intimate gathering, his artistry, professionalism, and genuine passion shine through. I can't recommend him highly enough."

"Ryan has played at several events at Explora and is always a hit! He creates a unique and special atmosphere. We pick our Adult Night musicians to align with the event's theme, and he can do anything!
Such a professional and fun guy to work with on the business end of things as well."
