William and his ensemble were fantastic from start to finish. Throughout the process, they were very responsive and answered all my questions, and everything was exactly how I had asked it to be on the day. Their music was beautiful and all of the guests enjoyed listening to them. I would 100% recommend hiring them for a wedding.

About William Violin Studio - Apollo Chamber Music
At William Violin Studio, I believe learning the violin should be joyful, inspiring, and tailored to each student’s unique goals. Whether you or your child is picking up the violin for the first time, preparing for youth orchestra auditions, or returning to music after a few years away, I try to create a warm and encouraging environment where progress feels natural and rewarding. With years of teaching and performance experience, I specialize in helping students of all ages build a strong foundation in technique, musicianship, and confidence. My lessons combine classical teaching methods with modern, student-centered approaches so you can grow at your own pace. Highlights: - Patient and engaging - Flexible approach - Emphasis on technical foundation A little about me: I hold degrees in Violin Performance from the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University. I perform regularly as a member of the first violin section of the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra and with the Baltimore Chamber Players. I also serve as the Artistic Director of Apollo Chamber Music, performing frequently in the DMV area. I’ve studied with world class teachers, including the Associate Concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Principal Second Violin of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.
Reviews
I scoured the web for two weeks looking through dozens of violinists but William immediately stood out from the rest in technical skill and musicality. Even from the small snippets of him playing online, you can tell that he is extremely talented and able to imbue his music with beauty and emotion that are unparalleled. And he most DEFINITELY delivered on all of that talent at our wedding. In particular, we had requested the song "Seasons of Love" for our entrance music, but we were worried that it would sound clunky on violin since all the violin covers we could find online sounded a little hollow. But William managed to play the most beautiful rendition of Seasons of Love that really started off the wedding ceremony on a magical note and STILL has our guests talking about it in awe! Beyond his musical talent, William was also incredibly professional and responsive, which took away all the stress of having to coordinate musicians for the wedding day. He was also extra accommodating, and was happy to be paired with a pianist that he had not played with before. Truly I cannot recommend William more highly, an absolute gem for any wedding day!!!
The quartet was very willing to play the music my daughter requested for her wedding. The music was beautiful and just the right volume to allow for conversation during dinner hour. I would very highly recommend the quartet for any social event that requires a ‘touch of class.”
This was my first time hiring a musician, I was planning my own wedding and Apollo music really made this very easy. They are very professional and knowledgeable. I appreciate the suggestions and patience they had, great communication. Made it as stress free as possible which is great for when you are planning an event.
We hired William to play the violin at our wedding ceremony. He was very responsive and communicated clearly. He played all the songs we asked and the guests loved it! We highly recommend him.
We had William of Apollo Chamber Music play solo violin for our wedding ceremony and were thrilled not just with his talent but his professionalism from start to finish. From first contact via Thumbtack to meeting him after the ceremony, the exchange was perfect. William responded quickly to our emails, his fee was very reasonable, he was punctual and our guests LOVED the ambiance he provided with his music. I would highly recommend Apollo Chamber Music for your special event.
William was awesome…very responsive to all my last minute changes. This experience will be apart of our engagement story for a lifetime. You rock…thank you so much! 😁
Mr. William Wang of Apollo String Quartet played beautifully for our Wedding Ceremony at the DC War Memorial. Many of our guests gave glowing compliments about the Ceremony overall, including the Violinist. Without reservation, I highly recommend Apollo String Quartet, and would definitely hire them again.
I’m late leaving my review, but better late than never! I had my proposal event in Feb. 14th, (Valentines Day), 2021. I was NERVOUS all around making sure everything was placed and looked a certain way. I was all over the place. When William showed up and we discussed on his deliverance and this exact time and specific song and notes, I was worried that I was might’ve been pressuring him to much and such. But when I heard William play his Violin before anything happened, I INSTANTLY FELT AT EASE!! His skills are superb and he’s DEFINITELY on his A-Game. THANK YOU SO MUCH William, for helping us and making our night one to remember and still be discussed about till this very day. I really hope and look forward with doing business with you again in the future. * RECOMMENDED*
I was looking for a violin teacher that had large amounts of both patience and skill. William has both. He was able to keep me on track and gave me the proper guidance and help I needed. Outstanding music teacher. Very highly recommend him.
