Présente avec nous la veille de Noel

Ponctuelle 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.

Professionnelle, sensible, parfaite

J'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.

Very professional and kind!

I 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!

An absolute professional

Around a week before my wedding, we had complications concerning music. After a couple of initial messages and a phone call for further details, Yumi had no issues coming and blowing us away. After giving a few requests for songs and the go ahead to play any other accompaniment she felt would be good, she handled the task amazingly, and had me close to tears before my bride even came down the aisle. She even had the pastor asking for her info, so they can suggest her as well! Yumi was amazing, provided the perfect ambience, and I can't thank her enough for the experience she provided at the ceremony!

What to expect

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).

About

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.

Additional booking notes

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.
