Corporate Performance Overview

Strolling Violinist Steven Vance has entertained hundreds of audiences at Corporate Banquets, Special Events, Trade Shows, Cocktail Parties, Hospitality Suites, Theme Events, and Private Gatherings for over ten years. A Pittsburgh native, he has also performed in New York City, Washington DC, Baltimore, Myrtle Beach, The Poconos, and over every hill and dale in the Tri-State area. Steven has honed his skills by perfecting many styles of music to build a repertoire of over 1,000 tunes including everything from Mozart to Phantom of The Opera to The Charlie Daniels Band.

Out of that wealth of experience he has developed a unique strolling performance perfect for sophisticated affairs and casual programs. From convention groups of one thousand to romantic dinners for two, Steven enchants listeners with his smoothly polished sounds.

Even First Lady Barbara Bush has had the opportunity to experience his unique talent when Steven performed "Yellow Rose of Texas" and "String of Pearls" for her. Recently, he entertained at the 50th Birthday Party for Governor Tom Ridge.

Mobility is the key as Steven brings the music to you via his state-of-the-art wireless sound system which recreates a "Concert Hall" sound so that no one misses a note of the show. Free to move about, he can entertain virtually everyone on a personal basis.

It's not just the music, but Steven's brand of fun, style, and audience-participation that helps everyone feel like they are part of the show. The music of Steven Vance compliments any occasion - but never overshadows - although at 6'3" tall, he does cast a long shadow.

THE REQUEST LINE IS OPEN is his most popular performance. This begins with light background music during Cocktails, then at Dinner, he moves into the traditional table-to-table style allowing your guests to hear what they want to hear.

Although he often performs alone, there are a number of other formats he can offer. KEYSTRING is his Violin and Keyboard duo which plays the whole spectrum of musical styles and is ideal for many events. STRIO is his strolling violin group which can now present up to 5 violins and offers the option of a wireless sound system which creates a majestic orchestral sound. The NORTHERN LIGHT DANCE BAND is a "softer" style of dance music featuring stunning vocalist Maria Sargent doing everything from Contemporary Pop, Rock n' Roll, Country and Romantic standards. Energetic and fun but "no too loud". The VIENNA NIGHTS ORCHESTRA is a totally unique "tea-dance" band showcasing 2 or 3 Violins, Piano and Bass playing Viennese Waltzes, Jitterbugs, Tangos, Troika, Jazz Standards, and a surprise or two. His SKYVIEW JAZZ TRIO swings with the best of them. The CAFE TRIO is a European-style strolling group with accordian and Bass doing French, Italian, Spanish, Hungarian, and ... With him, it's never a dull moment.
