Patricia was able to fill in for her brother Nicholas on what amounted to 10th. if not 11th. hour booking and played for approximately 3 hours entertaining a small gathering of some two-dozen people.
She was friendly, arrived punctually and, thru the course of the evening performed as you'd expect from a professional by bringing out the capabilities of the baby grand piano we had in the event room of our condo.
During breaks she talked to our guests to get a feel of the room and did an excellent job of tailoring the music to appeal to various tastes.
At the end of the evening, I told her I would sincerely book her again and would have no hesitation in recommending her to others (which is what I am doing now).
Thank-you Patricia and Nicholas

About booking Pianists in Ottawa, ON
Piano music can add a touch of elegance to any gathering! Hire a pianist to provide background music at your corporate event, wedding ceremony, restaurant, cocktail hour, or holiday party. Some pianists are vocalists as well and can sing and play all your favorite songs. These professionals can perform many styles of music across multiple musical genres including jazz, pop, classical, and more.
The cost of hiring a professional pianist in Ottawa, Ontario will vary depending on the type of event, the length of the performance, and the piano player’s skill level. Classically trained pianists with years of experience performing will often charge more than those that are just getting started playing piano for private events.
