soloists play on your Event.

What is a soloist? Meaning and performances in music

The name says it all: A soloist plays or sings alone. The distinction from an entertainer lies in the fact that a soloist usually does not have an evening-spanning repertoire, but is booked for a special, time-limited performance. This can be a vocal performance at a wedding or a trumpet solo in a requiem. The possibilities and offers are diverse. We are happy to help. Submit a booking request to use our intelligent search agent.

What is a soloist in music?

In music, a soloist is a person who stands alone in the center of a work or a section of a work. Examples:

Vocal performance at a wedding or ceremony

Trumpet solo during a requiem

Piano solo in a jazz concert

Violin soloist in an evening concert

A soloist orchestra, for example, takes on the role of the main interpreter in a violin concerto, accompanied by the entire orchestra. One also speaks of soloists in jazz, pop, or church music when individual voices or instruments are highlighted.

What does a female soloist do?

The term soloist is the feminine form of a soloist. Here too, it describes a female musician or singer who interprets a work or part of a work alone. While a female singer as a soloist performs a song or aria, a pianist, violinist, or trumpeter can also perform as a soloist.

Magic Vibes on stage Musik ist die große Leidenschaft, die mich BEN STONE bereits als Sechsjährigen in ihren Bann gezogen und mich fortan liebevoll begleitet hat. Mehr noch: Musik ist für mich Muse und Kunst zugleich – als Songwriter oder als Performer auf der Bühne. Authentizität, Natürlichkeit und Bodenständigkeit stehen stets im Vordergrund. Musik um ihrer selbst willen – ohne digitale Aufbereitung, ohne Soundeffekte – das ist das Motto von mir. Und dabei ist der Name Programm: Kräftig und unerschütterlich meine Stimme.

Areas of application for soloists

Booking a soloist is suitable in many contexts:

Weddings: Vocal insert in church or at the registry office

Funerals: Atmospheric musical moments, such as solo violin or trumpet

Concerts: Special solo performances as part of classical works or jazz sets

Events: Artistic inserts for anniversaries, receptions, or galas

What are soloists?

Several soloists can perform in a concert by taking on different pieces or sections. In classical music, a group of highlighted voices is often referred to as a "soloist ensemble".

An example: In an opera performance, several singers take on solo parts, supported by choir and orchestra.

What is the opposite of a soloist?

The opposite of a soloist is an ensemble formation or choir, in which several voices or instruments are involved simultaneously. While the soloist forms the artistic center, in ensembles they step back into a collective interplay with other musicians.

Soloist in the orchestra

Especially in classical music, the soloist in the orchestra plays an outstanding role. Examples:

Violinist in a violin concerto

Pianist in a piano concerto by Beethoven

Cellist in a romantic work by Dvořák

The orchestra accompanies the soloist and creates the sound fullness that carries and amplifies the solo performance.

Famous soloists

Some famous examples of soloists from history and present:

Luciano Pavarotti – Tenor soloist on the world's greatest opera stages

Anne-Sophie Mutter – Soloist on the violin

Lang Lang – Piano soloist with international renown

Miles Davis – famous as a jazz trumpeter for his solos

Whitney Houston – legendary as a soloist in pop and soul
