I had a Japanese themed corporate event and Saeko came with a friend to play duet Koto music. They were in full Japanese costume and brought everything that was needed. I didn't have to worry about anything. They were so good and all the tenants in the building enjoyed the music! She was on time and played beautifully. I recommend her to anyone looking for some music entertainment for a large or small crowd.

playing of the Japanese koto was beautiful perfection! She played traditional, upbeat, and some popular music. Our guests really enjoyed her. We would definitely book her again!
