So much more gray hair...




​My name is Brian Donat, and I play the cello. I lived and performed across the Adirondacks for 10 years, and now live in Rochester, NY. Fortunately I'm much better at playing the cello than playing with words, so if you're looking for a cellist or string ensemble for your wedding, event, lessons, show, album, etc., look no further. If you already know what you want, use the tabs above to learn more about my specific services.  

Since 2008 I've played for events in just about every corner of the park, plus the Capital/Saratoga Region, across the lake into Vermont and now around Western NY. Between all the Weddings, Concerts and Shows, I've gotten to play on Islands (reached both by boat and by long scary wooden bridge), and countless Beaches, in grand Lodges, humble Cabins, Churches, and every type of House, on Mountaintops (reached by ski lift and by car) and Hilltops (reached by foot and car), plus a few Amphitheaters, Museums, Hotels, Schools, Colleges, Concert Halls and just about everything in between. Oh, and three Formal Gardens - can't forget those! I'm looking forward to exploring a brand new region and adding Western NY, Southern Tier and Finger Lake venues to that list!

Where will I go next? Well, I guess that's up to you...

Thanks for your time!
