Introduction

I am a third generation musician with over 35 years of professional performance experience. I perform as a solo pianist and also with my ensemble. My repertoire is wide - from Chopin to Coldplay and I have an acute sense of the right music for the occasion. Specialties include wedding ceremony & cocktail reception, corporate events and dinner dances. I can custom tailor elegant, classy, live music that will both amaze and meet your budget.
