Andrew and Bree did a wonderful virtual performance for our online senior training/social site. They had the proper zoom setup for an virtual concert and the sound was good. Our clients really enjoyed the blending of the cello with Bree's beautiful singing voice. They did Holiday songs. They were well prepared and easy to work with. Thanks for a wonderful performance!

Donna, you were a great host. Bree and I loved performing for your wonderful organization, GetSetup. We would love to do another performance sometime.

Andrew, along with Bree Clarke, performed marvelously at the wedding of my niece recently. Andrew also played cello at my wedding a few years back. They both enhanced the ceremonies and receptions, and we received many compliments. Their repertoire is broad, and they consult cooperatively with the bride and groom about the song list. What a class act!

Thank you, Larry. We love performing for you. You have such a great year for music. I love your music, too.

Recently, I had the pleasure of hosting and playing 2 house concerts with Andrew Monohan and Bree Clarke, a local New York duo. For two Saturdays in a row, May 15th and May 22nd, Andrew and Bree performed at my midtown apartment for myself and my two guests. Andrew plays cello, Bree sings and I play guitar and sing. We had a great time playing common songs that we knew, such as “Wild Horses”, “I Don’t Know How to Love Him”, “Catch the Wind” and many others. Andrew can easily blend with almost any melody and Bree has a sweet soprano voice and harmonizes easily. Their playlist is an intelligent selection of melodic songs from many generations. If you are looking for such songs played without the deafening loudness of a rock band, Andrew and Bree will make a good choice for your event.

Thank you, Stephen. We loved performing at your beautiful Manhattan condo! We look forward to be invited over there once again.

On Saturday, May 22nd Bree Clarke sang and Andrew Monohan played cello at a party for myself, two friends, and my 95-year-old friend Ms. Cullen. It was great fun. Bree Clarke’s performance was breathtaking. Bree sang very sweetly while accompanied by Andrew on the cello: “Ave Maria” by Bach, “What a Wonderful World,” “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” and “Some Enchanted Evening.” What a line up! Andrew performed cello with his outstanding Suite #1 in G major by Bach, his own composition “Somewhere Outside this Elevator,” “If I Loved You,” and “Ave Maria” by Schubert. We were very lucky to have Bree Clarke and Andrew Monohan. They did a superb job. We would love to have them back again. Ms. Cullen loved them and so did I. Thank you so much for the great concert, Bree and Andrew!

Thanks, Chenui! We loved performing last Saturday. Thanks so much!

I hired Andrew Monohan to play at my mother’s Mother’s day party on Sunday, May 9th, 2021. Wow, he was the life of the party! What the entertainer he is! He brought flowers for my mother and played many emotional, moving, and sentimental songs on his cello. Our living room concert made me laugh. We all loved it. He even let my sister film it on her Iphone. He sang and played his brilliant and moving original songs too. It was great to hear his narration about his life and his composing. What an artist! Thank you, Andrew Monohan.

I had a great time performing at your house in Queens. Thank you for the great experience, Cheryl!

The theme I chose for my party on 9/20/20 was “Broadway comes to Emerson NJ”. I searched online looking for folks that could do this for me. Then I found Andrew Monohan. He responded very quickly to my inquiry. We had a very lengthy conversation about what I wanted and Andrew immediately understood my needs. He told me to go on Youtube and look for Andrew Monohan and Bree Clarke. I did. I found them and listened to them. I thought this is what I was looking for. Then Andrew and Bree came up with a list of songs that they could play. I picked out the one’s I wanted and let them pick out what they thought would work. I had 33 folks attend my backyard. The performance began and I took a front row seat. The performance was awesome to say the least. Bree sang amazingly well and Andrew played his cello very beautifully. To say the least, I plan on having Andrew and Bree back. They were on time and courteous to all of the crowd. Andrew and Bree’s music put us in a better frame of mind despite Covid. Andrew and Bree were 100% successful! Thank you, Bree Clarke and Andrew Monohan!
Sincerely.

Andrew Monohan was an amazing band leader/ organizer for a recent event. He coordinated a very talented singer, Bree Clarke, and a suburb harpist, Jim Flynn. They came well rehearsed and prepared with all the proper equipment. I would absolutely hire them again.

Thanks very much, Ryan Ruda. You did an awesome job too, coordinating and managing the event from start to finish.
We all appreciate your hard work and dedication to making live music thrive at the Torch Club. What a great time!

Andrew was a complete professional, courteous to our guests and our home and added some excellent background music for our New Years Eve party. He was willing to play anything asked of him and was flexible and generous with his time. You should have no hesitation about booking Andrew for a gig of any size. Kudos to a job well done, leaving our whole party impressed.

Andrew Monohan is an excellent cellist. He played every song we requested for four hours on Christmas evening, 2019. He played everything from Christmas music to Phantom of the Opera to Classical music by Bach. He even played some of his own original music. It was a night to remember and we will definitely hire him again!

Response from Andrew Monohan - Cellist/Singer:
It was a great and memorable time, Melissa! I enjoyed performing immensely. I liked playing songs from Phantom of The Opera, Moon River and others. I would love to play again. Thanks for the offer and the great review!

We have Andrew perform on stage at our conference. We basically relied on him to run the timing of the show (playing people on and off, giving cues when to start/stop) and he didn’t let us down. Super professional. If you have an event where you NEED someone to show up and perform well, he is your musician.

Response from Andrew Monohan - Cellist/Singer:
Thanks, Franco. I absolutely loved performing the Green Day tunes you requested. It was a great joy entertaining your entire crew of guests! I adored the boat ride! Very memorable indeed! It was fun for me to accompany you when you spoke, especially the pizzicato. You get 5 stars too for being such a great and responsive client!

Andrew was terrific. We hired him for an intimate wedding at the Baccarat hotel. He spent significant time prior to our ceremony understanding our song requests. He reached out several times to make sure we were comfortable with everything. The day of the wedding he arrived early and stayed late. He was the consummate professional and we recommend him strongly for your occasion.

It was a great pleasure performing at your marriage ceremony and reception. Working with you, Nancy and Jack, was bliss. Your wedding was both memorable and beautiful. I love the Hotel Baccarat as your location. It was a splendid day, indeed!

Thank you for playing so beautifully at the wedding. All of the guests were impressed. The location was very elegant but you were the finishing touch. I hope to hear you play again soon.

The wedding was a great joy. Thank you so much for including me, Danilda. It was a wonderful day.

Andrew was not only on time, he was early enough to give a hand with prep, which he did so happily. he was an excellent addition to the day, playing a mix of classical and contemporary music while the ceremony was under way. he coordinated a live performance of the first dance with a special guest singer, and was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Andrew is an amazing musician, and my wife felt he was the highlight of the wedding.

Than you, Elvis! You put together such a beautiful wedding day!
—-Andrew Monohan

I hired Andrew remotely to play for my clients proposal. I went in thinking that finding a cellist from afar would be a difficult task, but he made it easy and I didn’t have to worry. Playing for me via phone so I could hear his work, communicating promptly being very through with genres he could play and also giving me history and info about his instrument he set my mind at ease. Day of, he was on time, early actually, and played absolutely beautifully. I was totally impressed and so were my clients. I couldn’t have asked for better! Thank you, Andrew, 100 times over for making things so easy for me with the planning but for making the day magical.

I am Jonathan Feltheimer, the Director of Concierge Services at the Riverside Premier Rehabilitation and Healing Center. Our residents and guests had a wonderful experience yesterday listening to Mr. Monohan. He is truly a master of his craft, and made an ever lasting impression on our residents. Each resident, and guests, requested their favorite songs. With a smile he began playing his heavenly instrument. I highly recommend Mr. Monohan for all events, and look forward to having him return to our community for future events.

It was wonderful performing for you, Jonathan, and residents of Riverside. It was a truly great experience. Thanks for the great review! I love your facility!

Andrew and Enki were Wonderful! They learned the songs we wanted to play for the wedding as I walked down the aisle and during the cocktail hour. They played great live songs. Our guests, and my husband and I, really enjoyed their performance! They are highly recommended.

Andrew did such a good job! He was professional, punctual and detail oriented. Thank you for making our wedding so special!

Simply incredible!!!
I got married a couple weeks ago and hired Enki and Andrew (cellist) for both my ceremony and cocktail hour. Not only were they amazing musicians, they were incredibly professional. Very punctual, great communication skills, and extremely hardworking. My guests are still talking about what an amazing job they did. They we able to accommodate us for an intricate song to come down the aisle to and they played it so beautifully!!!! There was not a dry eye in the audience! They both play incredibly and it is evident how passionate they are about their craft. I would highly recommend them to anyone getting married or simply having any kind of event. I actually look forward to hiring them again in the future for anniversaries and other celebrations! If you want to higher top notch performers that will wow your guests, look no further than Enki and Andrew!!!

Andrew arrived early and set up quickly. He was dressed to impress, and impress he did! He played beautifully and sung songs, impressing all by singing with no music. He would then play the songs on his cello and take us away to far off places in our minds forgetting we were sitting in a nursing home dining room. Some of his songs brought back many memories for our residents, as there were many show tunes, including: Meet Me in St. Louis, Some Enchanted Evening (This was my favorite!), songs from the Phantom of the Opera, songs from Evita, I Just Called to Say I Love You by Stevie Wonder, and many other beautiful songs. I was very impressed with the way Andrew was very personable towards our residents here in the nursing home. He asked if anyone had any requests and went around shaking peoples hands. The staff and residents were so impressed with him and asked me when we were having him back!

I've had the pleasure to have Andrew perform for a couple of hours at my engagement party in an intimate restaurant setting. Andrew arrived early and set up in a timely manner. He was able to play a range of classics, as well as new compositions - after checking in with me about my preferences several times. His performance created a friendly, warm, and romantic atmosphere for my party, which is exactly what I was looking for. Lastly, Andrew worked with my budget and his communication was efficient. I would definitely recommend Andrew as a live performer for any kind of event.

Andrew played cello in my pit for a demanding sondheim show that was put together in JUST ONE WEEKEND and he was GREAT! He was professional, on time, and played a difficult score with great tone and style! Will definitely use him again!

I am so happy and grateful that Andrew was able to perform as part of my mother’s memorial service. He is a gifted cellist, and a true professional. His repertoire spans mulitple genres, and we were able to taylor a program that would have pleased my mother. I also invited a singer with whom he was able to accompany without any rehersal. I cannot reccommend him highly enough. He brought an elegance and beauty to a day that was very difficult for my family.

Andrew brought a 'touch of grace' to our special event. Andrew is talented, warm, and flexible. I highly recommend him for any special event.
Cellist

Andrew is wonderful and thoughtful and organized and very talented! He stayed up on things during a time we could not (weddings are so stressful) and he worked hard to bring beautiful ambiance to our wedding! He played a variety of contemporary and classical songs and showed up looking really professional to boot! In addition to all the technical issues he had on our way to our wedding (his bus actually broke down!!!) he made it and went above and beyond our expectations! I highly recommend Andrew for any posh event you may be having he has a lot of poise and talent!
Thank you again Andrew for helping make our day so special!
