Thank you to David Gu for sharing your incredible music at my Art Show. Your performance added a special atmosphere to the entire event, perfectly complementing the artwork and creating a truly memorable experience for everyone in attendance. Your talent and skill on the cello were evident in every piece you played, and I received so many compliments about how your music brought the space to life. I am deeply grateful for your contribution and hope we can collaborate again in the future. Thank you for making the evening so magical.

September 27, 2023David did well at everything!
David did well at everything that we asked of him, including agreeing to a week's postponement owing to Tropical Storm Ophelia. He provided an advance play list of the classical compositions we requested for the party, arrived on time, appeared in a full black tuxedo, and played extremely well for a full two hours. We highly recommend him.
