The Highlight of the Birthday Celebration!

I hired Georgie to play at my boyfriend’s 40th birthday celebration, and it was one of the highlights of the night. Georgie was very responsive, on time, and super polite. His music is beautiful and we are looking forward to hire him to future events.I can’t recommend Georgie enough for any special occasion.

Georgie was fantastic!

We needed background music for our guests to enjoy while still be able to interact with each other. His music was a perfect complement to the evening experience. Guests loved it! Thank you Georgie!

Cellist from heaven

Georgie played at our dinner party of 18 and the folks were all mesmerized by his beautiful music. He played the Bach suites with precision and beauty and was able to tell us about the composer and a lot of interesting facts. I highly recommend him for any event.

Excellent!

Mr Gonzalez provided excellent music as a part of my mother’s celebration of life memorial service. He went the extra mile for us by asking me about appropriate music, tending to the details of when to arrive and what to wear and whether microphones were needed. He brought the music and it was truly beautiful. He could not have been any better in provided what we needed.

Additional booking notes

The only requirement for my service is an armless chair. I will bring everything else and arrive early to set up. If I am bringing a group they can also come early and set up as well. I can also participate in other preformed large or small ensembles.
