Upon coming to London where she began serious concertizing in the classical genre, Miriam would often have requests and inquiries from "backstage" concert goers who wanted to know if she would consider playing for their charity organization, their company banquet, or even for a private celebration event.

​

From these requests, String Celebrations was born to "provide beautiful and 'tailored to the event' music for charity, civic, government, corporate and private events." Clients choose from violin alone ( strolling violin, gypsy violin or the waltzes of Vienna), violin and keyboard, string duos, trios and quartets, and even the addition of flute, clarinet, or oboe to the string ensemble. The repertoire is a good mix of classical, ethnic, (Yiddish, Israeli, Celtic, Italian, Hassidic, Klezmer, etc.), popular and show tunes, transcribed opera arias, jazz, and even ragtime.

​

In 1995, Ms. Kramer won the UK Jewish Performer of the Year. This prestigious competition attracts hundreds of entries in all aspects of entertainment from throughout the UK After that event, the requests for String Celebrations came pouring in.

​

Now, Miriam's serious concerts and String Celebrations form a two-way street. People who come to her concerts still want to engage her for lighter occasion events, but, best of all, her clients have become her devoted concert fans who flock to her recitals and concerto appearances.
