Rachel is a British Brazilian violinist and multi instrumentalist, who started her music training at the tender age of 4. Her first instrument was the piano.

At the age of 7, already a confident pianist, she developed her passion for the violin. Her classical violin training involved weekly lessons with various masters of the violin. At the age of 12 she was playing the violin for events and weddings, and giving concerts yearly. In later years, Rachel started to study the Irish Fiddle and was absorbed in Celtic Music, as well as Classical Music. She also started her Celtic Harp studies. Rachel has wowed audiences all over the world, including the UK, France, Spain, and South America. Her songs are inspired by Classical, New Age, and Celtic Music.
Her life, from a very young age, has been filled with music, and together with her dance and drama training, Rachel became a very confident, talented, and natural performer. Having been instructed by leading world class violin masters, and a lifetime of dedication, Rachel is recognised for her extremely high standard as a musician with exceptional talent, creating such high demand for her services that Rachel has, to date, played at over 850 weddings and hundreds of other prestigious events in the past 15 years.

If anyone is looking for a wedding violinist I cannot recommend Rachel Somerset enough. We were amazed by seeing her perform at a friend’s wedding and booked her immediately after for ours.
We were so blessed to have her perform at our wedding, from walking down the aisle, to mesmerising our guests at our drinks reception. She also went above & beyond learning a piece of music that meant the world to us. Truly beautiful. Get her booked, she’s absolutely amazing.
Rachel performed at our wedding last Friday and it was definitely one of the best decisions we ever made for our wedding! Rachel was amazing so professional and so so talented. Many of our guests commented on how great she was. If anyone is thinking of having a violinist perform at their wedding I definitely recommend you book Rachel- not just an amazing violinist but a lovely person too!
Thank you so much for performing at my mother’s memorial service. The music you played was beautiful and made the event so special. Every single guest that I spoke to following the service complimented your performance and how lovely your music was. I couldn’t recommend you highly enough. Hopefully we will be able to book you for another event soon.
