What to expect

Across all formats, the focus is on creating luxury, high caliber musical experiences that are engaging, memorable, and thoughtfully designed for each event.

When you hire me, you are bringing a concert pianist and curator of musical programs who specializes in creating distinctive musical experiences for private celebrations, salons, cultural gatherings, corporate retreats, and special events. Each program is carefully designed to reflect the theme, audience, and spirit of the occasion.

Programs draw from a wide range of repertoire including classical masterpieces, jazz standards, opera highlights, Broadway favorites, film themes, and international music. Performances may feature solo piano or expand to include vocalists and instrumentalists in duos, trios, quartets, or larger ensembles depending on the venue, audience, and scale of the event.

Many events feature internationally acclaimed artists who collaborate on these programs. These performers are often based in San Francisco and throughout California, while others are invited from across the United States and beyond to participate in special musical projects and curated performances.

Recital Roulette

One of the most popular formats is Recital Roulette, an interactive concert experience built around a customizable Wheel of Fortune style music wheel.

Audience members are randomly selected from a top hat to spin the wheel, determining the next musical selection. The result is an evening of surprising contrasts, virtuosic repertoire, and spontaneous audience interaction in which the musical journey unfolds in an entertaining and unpredictable way.

Different versions of Recital Roulette can be created depending on the theme of the event. Past editions have included

Piano Roulette, featuring dazzling piano repertoire ranging from beloved classics to virtuosic showpieces

Opera Roulette, featuring iconic arias and operatic highlights

Holiday Roulette, featuring festive seasonal repertoire

April in Paris, a Parisian themed musical wheel featuring French repertoire and chansons

Savor the Sound

Another signature experience is Savor the Sound, a guided wine and music tasting that pairs carefully selected wines with live musical performance.

Each wine is paired with repertoire connected to its region, culture, or history, creating an immersive experience that combines storytelling, wine tasting, and live music. These events are particularly popular for private salons, cultural gatherings, and corporate retreats.

International Music Programs

Many programs highlight international repertoire and multilingual performances celebrating musical traditions from around the world. Events may feature music in languages such as

Italian
French
Spanish
Greek
German
English
Hawaiian
Chinese
Tagalog
Korean
Japanese
Samoan
Māori
and other languages from the Asian Pacific Islander community.

These programs may reflect cultural heritage, international themes, or community celebrations. Past events have included Italian and Mediterranean themed evenings, French and Parisian concerts, Latin and Spanish language programs, and performances highlighting Asian Pacific Islander musical traditions.

Customized Celebrations

Music can also be curated for milestone celebrations and themed gatherings including birthdays, anniversaries, cultural celebrations, holiday events, and other meaningful occasions. Programs may incorporate favorite songs, cultural traditions, or a curated musical journey designed especially for the event and its guests.

Flexible Ensemble Options

Performances can be presented in a variety of formats depending on the venue and scale of the event including

Solo piano

Piano and voice

Chamber ensembles

Small vocal and instrumental groups

Larger collaborative ensembles for concert style programs

Every event is approached as a bespoke musical experience, with repertoire, artists, and presentation carefully shaped to create an unforgettable program.

About

Ronny Michael Greenberg is a pianist and impresario whose work spans performance, curation, and cultural leadership across some of the country’s most distinguished stages and institutions.

At the heart of his work is Taste of Talent, the nonprofit organization he founded and leads as CEO, dedicated to multi-sensory, culturally immersive programming. Its projects include Opera Aloha, a Pacific concert tour blending opera with Hawaiian musical traditions; JIVE (Jewish Innovative Voices & Experiences), a platform for genre-crossing Jewish musical expression; Taste of México, a celebration of Mexican musical, visual, and culinary traditions; and Death by Aria, the Bay Area’s wildly popular Halloween concert phenomenon.

Ronny’s producing credits include TILT at Grace Cathedral, the Merola Opera Program Gala, and San Francisco Opera Guild’s Evening on the Stage, the organization’s annual gala honoring leaders in civic and cultural life, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Maria Manetti Shrem.

His recent performing highlights include the centennial celebration of Rhapsody in Blue with Festival Napa Valley, a sold-out cabaret performance with soprano Leah Crocetto at 54 Below, and a recital with tenor Pene Pati at the Park Avenue Armory, named one of the best classical music performances of 2025 by The New York Times.

An active arranger and emerging composer, Ronny has collaborated with leading institutions including San Francisco Opera, San Francisco Ballet, Festival Napa Valley, Merola Opera Program, Hawaiʻi Opera Theatre, the Walt Disney Family Museum, Filoli Historic House & Gardens, and Art Song Chicago.

Through all of his work, Ronny remains deeply committed to breaking boundaries of genre and culture, creating spaces for connection, collaboration, and artistic freedom.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
