July 2, 2026We booked Gabriel's classical ensemble to play at our retirement community event, and so many residents complimented the music! The group provided a great atmosphere for our party.

January 15, 2026We threw a snazzy dinner party for our residents to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our retirement community. Gabriel playing the cello provided the perfect touch to elevate the party and create an elegant ambiance. Several residents approached him throughout the night to compliment his talents. He was kind to work with and diligent in his performance, and we would be happy to host him again.

I can perform anywhere so long as I have a seat. Depending on the space and the event, I may need to bring my own sound equipment, so I'll need access to power. Or, if the event host chooses, they can provide their own sound equipment and receive a lower rate from me.

Some of my biggest musical influences on the classical side have definitely been the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, Santiago Cañón Valencia, Pablo Ferrandez, Yo-Yo Ma, to name a few. When it comes to other musics, I've definitely been inspired by trailblazers like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Kendrick Lamar, Nujabes, and more. When we talk about the Pop side of things, I've loved the performances of Faye Webster, Glen Campbell, Clairo, Alice Phoebe Lou, and the list goes on.
