Overview

I don’t do elevator music.

What I do is turn rooms into experiences—solo piano that moves from Chopin to Coldplay without anyone noticing the shift, because the vibe stays seamless even when the century changes.

I’ve spent years building a 200+ song repertoire that works whether you’re hosting a corporate reception, running a wine bar, or planning a private event that should feel special without trying too hard. Classical foundations. Jazz sensibility. Modern fluency. Zero pretension.

I’m reliable, prepared, and fully aware that my job is to elevate your event—not compete with it. The music supports the room, the conversation, and the moment… and quietly makes everything better.

Great Pianist

We hired Chris for our first grand daughter’s first birthday. We had guests from 8 months old to over 80 years old. Chris played music for all ages and even my favorite ones. Everyone enjoyed his performance. Though there were plenty of conversations in the room, several of the guests were intently watching and listening to Chris’ performance. He received several compliments. Thank you again Chris! We highly recommend him for any event. We will be hiring him again in the near future.

Chris was amazing

I hired Chris to play a corporate reception and I'm glad I did. He was on time, professional, easy to work with and very talented. If given the chance, I would definitely hire him again.

Outstanding service and talent

We hired Chris to play at out Mother's Day Tea. He arrived on time, professionally dressed and was kind and courteous. Because we have a smaller space, I sometimes have to do a lot of coaching about appropriate sound levels with pianists, but we were so busy I wasn't able to give him much primer. He didn't need any coaching at all. He played the perfect selections for our service (some classical, some contemporary) we even had some guest humming and singing along. We would absolutely book Chris again in the future.
