SHAINA & ERICA DUO
SHAINA & ERICA DUO
Shaina & Erica bring together two of music's most luminous voices — violin and harp — in a partnership that is as rare as it is radiant.
Violinist Shaina Evoniuk and harpist Erica Messer draw on rich classical traditions while exploring the full expressive range of their singular combination, from shimmering delicacy to soaring lyricism. A striking and elegant addition that elevates any event.
Shaina “Violinista” Evoniuk is a Bay Area-based violinist, producer, and composer whose playing moves fluidly between classical precision and soulful improvisation. Described by the East Bay Times as “an indispensable force on the San Francisco Bay Area music scene,” she has a rare gift for finding the emotional core of any song and elevating it. Whether she’s carrying a melody, adding harmonic texture, or driving the energy of a performance, her violin brings depth and feeling that transforms an acoustic cover into something uniquely her own.
Erica Messer is one of the most sought-after harpists in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, bringing over 30 years of elite performance experience to every event. Her work transcends traditional performance—offering curated, emotionally attuned experiences for luxury weddings, high-end private events, and destination celebrations. Erica's artistry is rooted in classical training and refined through decades of live performance. But what truly sets her apart is her intuitive ability to read a room, understand the emotional arc of an event, and craft soundscapes that elevate every moment from the ceremony processional to the final toast.
