Austin Chao - Professional Cellist

Austin was a pleasure to work with. He was professional, accommodating, and really skilled at his craft. He took the time to understand the event, our objectives, the audience, and our preferences. He elevated the event, set a great ambience, and we had multiple people who complimented his talent.
I wouldn't hesitate to invite Austin to play for a future event.

At my 80th birthday party Austin was a classic hit with my thirty guests. He responded quickly to my initial request for information, arrived shortly before the event, and provided relaxing cello music for the reception and dinner. He was easy to work with, and I highly recommend his services.

I couldn’t be happier with Austin. We were honoured to have him play our ceremony and cocktail hour. Incredibly professional, took all our suggested songs that may not be traditional and played them beautifully. Perfect touch to our perfect day.

Very average performance and average pick of songs to play. Didn’t stand out and the performer didn’t engage with the crowd. It was as if he is there to do his hour and leave.

One of my guests exclaimed, "I didn't know you hired Yo-Yo Ma!!!" He did sound like him.
Thank you very much for the musical therapy for at least me from stress and especially one of my relatives who loves Baroque music and suffers from moderate dementia! He missed half of your performance due to unforeseen circumstances but we hope to hire you again very soon!
