Michael Kollwitz - Solo Chapman Stick®

With over 30 years of professional performance experience, I bring elegance, artistry, and professionalism to every wedding celebration. I’ve performed at hundreds of ceremonies and receptions — from intimate beachfront weddings in Maui (as a former member of the Maui Wedding Association) to scenic desert celebrations throughout Arizona. I’m also a grant-funded recording artist and published author, bringing a lifelong dedication to musical craftsmanship to each event. My goal is simple: to create a seamless, beautiful atmosphere that enhances every meaningful moment of your day so you can relax and fully enjoy your celebration.

I perform on the Chapman Stick® — a rare and captivating instrument most guests have never seen or heard. Its rich sound blends melody, harmony, and bass at once, creating the depth of multiple musicians in a single performance. The music feels refined yet warm — perfect for a sunset Sedona ceremony and equally engaging for a relaxed reception. I perform live throughout your event and transition seamlessly to curated playlists during short breaks, often eliminating the need for a separate DJ. Your wedding should feel like no one else’s. The music should, too.
