An incredibly versatile and experienced pianist, Yumi can play any style of music (classical, jazz, pop, Broadway etc) and her vast repertoire ranges from simple, romantic melodies to complex and upbeat pieces. She can accommodate any special request you might have, whether it's a specific song or a specific style you'd like to have played at your event. She truly loves working with people and helping them create the ideal atmosphere for their event. She's worked extensively providing background music for all sorts of occasion (weddings, dinner parties, corporate events, funerals, christmas parties, etc.)
She often plays in duo formation with the violinist Oleg Larshin.

December 27, 2025Ponctuelle et joviale, elle répond à nos demandes particulières pour la veille de Noel. Elle lit la musique comme je lis le journal de La Presse. Versatile et avec une technique avancée et émotionnelle. Très bonne pianiste. Nous avons apprécié sa performance.

November 30, 2025J'ai retenu les services de Yumi pour les funérailles de ma mère. Il est très facile de s'oganiser avec elle: professionnalisme, fiabilité et souplesse. Elle inspire confiance dès les premiers échanges. Son jeu était impeccable et sensible pour rendre Chopin, même sur le piano électrique plutôt ordinaire dont nous disposions. Son attitude générale, empreinte d'empathie et de bienveillance ajoute une touche exceptionnelle à l'expérience. Je la recommande chaleureusement.

January 18, 2022I hired Yumi for a funeral visitation and she was excellent at playing the songs I requested in a way that was quiet enough for the venue. She arrived early to practice and she was always very kind and polite. I would most definitely hire Yumi again and I highly recommend her for your next event with live music!

I can provide background piano music of various genres, from strictly classical to jazzy and popular songs. I can accomodate special requests, if submitted ahead of time. I can perform alone or in collaboration with other musicians or artists (actors, dancers, visual artists etc).
I can work together with event planners to create the desired atmosphere for the event (that can include involving and booking other artists)
Born in Italy from a musical family, I graduated from an Italian Conservatory at the age of 18, then moved to Warsaw, Poland, to obtain a Bachelor of Music, and finally landed in Dallas to pursue a Master of Music degree. I've performed extensively as a soloist, chamber musician and in collaboration with orchestras in Italy, Austria, Japan, Poland, the Netherlands, Guatemala and the USA.
Parallel to my international career, I've also cultivated a local career, playing outreach concerts all over the metroplex and providing background music for all sorts of public and private events.
I cannot provide an instrument of my own, so the venue of the event needs to have a piano or an electric keyboard for me to perform.
