Thank you SO much for coming and playing for us yesterday evening. Your music was perfect for the evening, there were songs and tunes and styles that everyone knew and were comfortable with. The music attuned with the evening so that people could talk and visit with each other. The music amplified the ambiance of the evening without dominating the event. Many people commented to me on how much they liked the music that you played and the way you played it. You were much appreciated.

Oleg's tutelage will undeniably have a lasting effect on my life. After skeptically deciding to learn to play the violin, Oleg's guidance engaged me and inspired me to become a more proficient fiddler. His understanding and patience motivated me to overcome obstacles and push forward. Oleg is highly recommendable, and I consider him to be a marvelous teacher.

Oleg is an amazing teacher. He helps my daughter on a daily basis with her challenges. I strongly recommend Oleg as a violin teacher. You can't find a better person to teach your child.

My friends organized a surprise luncheon for my birthday. They invited Oleg to play his violin. He chose many well known melodies and inspired us to sing along and dance in a circle around the table. He made it the most memorable birthday ever!

Not only is Oleg a true professional but his performances really touch the audience. We have him on board every Valentine's Day going tableside performing for couples. It really brings the romance to the evening. I truly enjoy working with Oleg and can always count on him to be there! Thank you for a continued job well done!

Your beautiful violin was the most enjoyable part of the [wedding] ceremony for me. Thank you for sharing your gift.

Oleg, Thank you for a night of beautiful music at Daniela's restaurant in Naples Feb.2013. The serenade of Somewhere Over the Rainbow and Moon River were amazing and romantic. We always include Oleg as part of our vacation when traveling to Marco from Indiana. I love the range of his songs from classical music, old standards, Broadway hits and more. I especially loved All I Ask of You from Phantom of the Opera and Time to Say Good Bye. Oleg's musical gift is a joy to experience.

It’s hard to say whether Daniela’s [Restaurant] food tasted so good because of the live violin music that accompanied it, or if it was the other way around. Either way, I highly recommend arranging to visit this lovely little restaurant on a night when violinist Oleg Timuta is performing. Mr. Timuta’s broad repertoire includes selections as diverse as “Hello Dolly,” “Yesterday,” “My Way” and a fascinating number called “Skylark,” in which he uses his instrument to mimic the sounds of a skylark, a chicken, a woodpecker, a cuckoo and a cow. Really. . . Mr. Timuta is clearly an experienced violinist who understands music as well as the audiences for which he plays. Click here to read the full review

A highlight of the evening was the incredibly talented violin music of Oleg Timuta. It would be worth going to Daniela's just to hear him play. He plays every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 6:30 - 8:30pm (although he played much longer than that to our delight). The 16th was his birthday, so we were tickled to be a part of his birthday party as the staff and patrons sang him "Happy Birthday." He played several of my very favorite songs, including "Memory," which my husband requested for me. He didn't have the music with him, but played most of the song by ear which was quite impressive. Two Colombian woman at the bar were encouraged by staff to take a stab at playing the old piano in the restaurant, so they each played for a few minutes while Oleg accompanied them. That definitely made us smile.

Last year We had a very private sunset beach wedding performed by Phyllis Sinoradzki on Marco Island beach. Oleg and I emailed to make music selections. He was amazing. He played for most of an hour. Selections included Ava Maria, On Eagles Wings, The Servant Song, Somewhere over the Rainbow and many more including classical and pop. My husband is Irish and Oleg played several impromptu Irish jigs while we danced barefoot on the beach.
Oleg plays with such deep sincerity and sensuality that he draws the listener into the music. He is respectful, humble and plays with indescribable passion. My husband and I returned to Marco Island for vacation this year and to hear Oleg at Bice Restaurant.
Thank you for making my dream wedding come true.
