Corporate holiday events, weddings, cocktail hours, public speaking, meetings, office gatherings, or just a house party BBQ. This magic happens face to face. Where you're as close to the magic as I am! This is the best way to meet and entertain all your guests on a personal level. My goal in life is to make people smile and forget about the world for a while. As a public speaker and instructor, I understand the importance of keeping the attention of a captive audience. I also offer my public speaking skills with a magical blend set to amaze and get the point across in a magical manner. This magic happens face to face. Add wonderful memories and moments of wonder to your next event. Instill the whimsy back into people's lives. Magic is not just for children. I know that in some cases, adults need it more than children. There's a little 'something' in magic for everyone.

Olga's Piano Music

I greatly enjoy playing for people and creating a special atmosphere for the guests to match the occasion. I think music plays an enormous role in any type of event, but this is especially true for weddings. My repertoire consists of many beautiful selections of classical piano music, movie themes and Broadway tunes. I learn music of any style very quickly and can accommodate any special requests.
I offer a complimentary 30 minute session to discuss and help select the music for an event. My goal is to make sure that my clients are completely satisfied with the musical selections.
I have a lot of experience playing for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, dinner parties and other social events and my playing will be balanced according to the size of the room and will never be obtrusive. At all the events I have played people always enjoyed the selections and commented on the high quality of my playing.
I hold Master's Degree in Piano Performance and regularly perform solo and collaborative recitals. I teach private lessons and work as an accompanist at Northwestern University. In addition I serve as a church organist at the St. Paul's Evangelical Church in Franklin Park, IL.
Music is my life and passion and I am looking forward to helping make your next event a memorable experience.
