JP is not just a solo cellist, he has a team of musicians who works with him to play gigs all over town as well as the United States.

CreativeCello made our intimate wedding incredibly special and meaningful! Everyone from the photographer to my parents raved about their performance, and even got their information to book. I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience- thank you so much!
Cellist, Violinist
Jacques Pierre Malian put together a wonderful concert of classical music for a memorial service for my wife. I would hire him again. The pianist was also very strong. Together they did a great job. My neighbors are inviting me to organize a house concert to follow - everyone loved it.
Bassist, Classical Pianist
great selection of cello music, nice mix of classics and new to us material
Cellist, Classical Duo
JP and his colleagues are outstanding musicians and professionals. I knew when I listened to performances on YouTube that it would be a great experience, we never imagined that the quartets music would set the tone for what became a most memorable wedding ceremony and evening. He is very responsive to questions and recommendations and handled everything with grace keeping in mind our venue, guests while respecting the sensitivity of an inter-faith, same sex ceremony. We will remember JP and will follow his successful career. I highly recommend this quartet! Thank you for making our wedding the best day of our lives!

Working with JP of CreativeCello was wonderful. He was extremely professional, responsive, and reliable. His music was beautiful and provided the perfect accent to our corporate reception. I would hire him again any time and hope that I have the opportunity to do so. Highly recommend.
