Fantastic Experience Working with Anna

Anna was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was incredibly accommodating throughout the process, easy to communicate with, and brought such a warm, positive energy onsite.

Her performance was fantastic and exactly what we were looking for. She read the room well and created the perfect atmosphere for the space.

I would absolutely hire her again for a future event and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and professional musician.

Passionate and experienced!

Anna was an outstanding pianist! Patient, gentle & very experienced. She was attentive to all our requests, she did not necessarily know all our (religious) songs, but she learned very quickly and adapted very well to our environment. I recommend her without any doubt. She’s the best ❤️

Price range: $400 - $2000

What to expect

Standard bookings include a personalized consultation, a curated setlist based on your event, and professional live piano performance. If you're looking for specific songs that are not already in my repertoire, custom song requests and specially prepared setlists are available for an additional fee, depending on the amount of preparation required.

Pricing varies based on factors such as performance length, location, equipment requirements, and the complexity of your event. I believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and I'm happy to provide a customized quote that fits your needs.

From our first conversation to the final note, my goal is to provide a seamless, professional experience and create memorable moments through live music.

About

Every event tells a story, and live music helps bring that story to life.

I'm Anna Chowattanakul, the musician behind Creative Piano Time. I specialize in creating memorable experiences through live piano performances that are thoughtfully tailored to each event. Whether you're planning a corporate gathering, cocktail reception, wedding, private celebration, gala, or community event, I work closely with clients to create an atmosphere that feels authentic, welcoming, and uniquely yours.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Music Education with a focus on classical piano, as well as a Master's degree in Jazz Performance. This combination allows me to blend strong technical training with creativity, versatility, and improvisation, adapting each performance to the unique atmosphere of your event.

Rather than playing a fixed setlist, I believe music should adapt to the people in the room. From elegant jazz standards and contemporary pop to classical favorites, film music, Disney, Broadway, French selections, and international repertoire, every performance is curated to complement your event.

I've performed at corporate conferences, film festivals, cultural events, luxury hotels, weddings, and private celebrations throughout Montreal, collaborating with singers and other musicians to create experiences that guests remember long after the event ends.

Professionalism, communication, and flexibility are at the heart of every booking. Whether you need sophisticated background music or a featured performance, my goal is simple: to help create meaningful moments through live music.

I look forward to helping make your event unforgettable.

Additional booking notes

Available for corporate events, conferences, cocktail hours, weddings, private parties, galas, fundraisers, and community events.

Bookings range from one hour to multiple hours, with scheduled breaks provided for longer performances.

• An acoustic piano on site is preferred whenever available.

• If no piano is available, I can provide a professional digital piano for an additional equipment rental fee.

• If you are providing the sound system, please have a PA system available with two 1/4" (6.35 mm) line inputs or two XLR inputs (or compatible DI boxes) so my keyboard can be connected in stereo. If you're unsure whether your system is compatible, I'm happy to discuss the setup before your event.

• If your venue does not have a suitable PA system, I can provide my Bose S1 Pro+ portable PA speaker for smaller events for an additional equipment rental fee. Larger venues may require a more powerful sound system.

• Equipment rental fees apply when providing my own keyboard, Bose S1 Pro+, keyboard stand, sustain pedal, and other performance equipment.

• A level performance area and access to a nearby power outlet are required when using my equipment.

• For outdoor events, a covered performance area is required to protect the instrument and equipment from direct sunlight, rain, and extreme weather.

• Setup and sound check are completed before guest arrival whenever possible to ensure a seamless experience.

• Custom song requests and specially prepared setlists are welcome. Additional preparation fees may apply for learning new music, arranging, or transcription.

• Travel outside the Montreal area may incur an additional travel fee.

If you have a unique vision for your event or questions about the technical setup, I'd be happy to work with you to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Influences and inspiration

My musical influences come from artists who combine technical excellence with creativity and connection.

Peter Bence inspires me to think beyond traditional piano performance. His innovative arrangements, rhythmic energy, and ability to transform familiar songs into engaging live experiences have encouraged me to create performances that resonate with a wide range of audiences.

Hiromi has influenced my approach to improvisation, musical expression, and fearless creativity. Her ability to seamlessly blend jazz, classical, and contemporary styles reminds me that technical skill is a tool for storytelling and emotional connection.

Jacob Collier has shaped the way I think about collaboration and musical possibilities. His curiosity, genre-crossing approach, and attention to harmony inspire me to remain open minded, adapt to the musicians around me, and create performances that are unique to each event.

Together, these influences have helped shape my own musical philosophy: combining a strong classical foundation with the freedom of jazz, while creating live performances that are collaborative, adaptable, and centered around the people in the room.
