Wonderful Performance

Joshua was outstanding - from communication to performance, we could not have been happier!
He arrived for our evening on time, well-prepared and provided a truly personal experience for our small group. He was engaging, provided background on each piece (as requested) and chatted with us throughout. (If you prefer he will certainly play without discussion - it's just what our group preferred.) He played beautifully and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Highly recommend and would definitely hire him again!!
