One of the greatest classical showmen in the country today, Gary Lovini’s mastery of the violin has seen him build up a loyal following amongst classical and pop fans alike. Having successfully bridged the gap between classical music and popular music, Gary has played an important role in bringing the sound of classical music to a wider audience. Gary’s love affair with the violin began at the age of 8. Showing considerable promise performing with the instrument, it took him less than two years to pass all of his classical grades with distinction.
As a result, Gary soon went on to become the second-placed musician at a National Talent Competition organised by The English Tourist Board, beating almost 10,000 highly-talented entrants. As a result of Gary’s performance success, he soon began to perform as a violinist for hire. A real turning point in Gary’s career came when he won the British television talent contest New Faces, a show which managed to peak at an audience of fifteen million viewers. Following this success, Gary appeared extensively on Sunday Night at the London Palladium and The Des O’Connor Show. In addition, Gary was soon rewarded a slot in the Royal Variety Performance.
In addition, his musical skills also saw him become the youngest entertainer ever to have worked for the Cunard Line. Since then, Gary has continued to put on show-stopping performances wherever he goes. Despite his considerable success, Gary’s love for his chosen instrument pushes him to always keep working at expanding and enhancing his musical material.
As a result, he is currently working on his original pieces in the studio. With a wealth of experience behind him, Gary’s musical act is perfect for corporate entertainment and wedding entertainment alike. Highly regarded by both the music community and the general public, Gary’s unquestionable musical talent has seen him completely transform the image of the violin as an instrument solely suitable for classical music. As such, Gary is sure to remain an iconic figure in modern-day classical- and pop music.
