Haley McCalister, Pianist

Live solo piano, built around your event instead of a generic set list, with every piece learned from real sheet music. Before your event, I'll ask what you actually want - classical for cocktails, pop songs for dinner, whatever mix fits - and build from there. If timing matters (an entrance, a toast, cake cutting), I plan it out ahead of time so nothing's a surprise in the moment.

I'm a classically trained pianist with twenty years of experience, based in the Bay Area. I perform solo piano for weddings, celebrations of life, dinners, birthdays, and private events of all kinds, bringing whatever the moment calls for, whether that's something reflective or something festive.

Alongside performing, I teach piano privately, which keeps me close to the instrument and to new repertoire year-round. I'd love to be part of making your event feel exactly right.

A videographer may be present to record portions of the performance for my portfolio. If so, I'll need a small additional space near the piano for their setup. I always confirm this with you beforehand and am glad to skip it if you'd prefer the event stay unrecorded.
