Ioanna Nikou
Overview
I am a professional classical pianist with a doctorate degree in piano performance who loves sharing music moments with fellow music lovers and admirers! Even though I’ve been primarily classically trained, I perform a lot of other genres of music depending on the occasion, as I perform in pop/rock bands as a singer and keyboard player occasionally. I have played in churches, private events, music halls, as well as in restaurants and bars. My professionalism, determination, and accomplishment of any tasks I'm given are my greatest strengths.

Gig length: 60 - 180 minutes
What to expect
For classical music, I can sightread almost all of the most famous piano works for classical music lovers. These pieces are beautifully suited for any big events (corporate events, anniversaries, weddings, concerts) as well as for any other occasion that would benefit from lounge and cozy music, with which people can still communicate in a normal tone.
For gigs that would like mostly covers, I can play and sing anything from Ella Fitzgerald to Katy Perry, even 80s popular music. I use sheet music for these, so even though song requests are not denied, a prior notice of these songs would make my performance time easier!
You can expect a professional musician that can cater to most music tastes and provide a nice and engaging musical experience.
