Live piano performance by Kristina
Overview
As a pianist, my greatest pleasure is bringing the uplifting power of music directly to listeners. I offer a wide spectrum of musical styles, including classical, pop, Argentine tango, hit ballads, blues, and soft contemporary, with a strong focus on beloved classics and all-time favorites. I also play my own music. I aim for a melodic sound that’s easy on the ears. You can hear samples of my work in the Audio section of my profile.
I regularly perform at senior living communities, events, weddings and parties.
If there isn't a piano available, I can provide my own gear.
I have also included a sample setlist on my profile so you can get a feel for my repertoire.

September 26, 2025Amazing!
Not only were Kristina’s musical talents top-tier, but her professionalism was equally impressive. She arrived on time, was completely self-sufficient with her setup, and were a pleasure to communicate with throughout the booking process.
If you are looking for an exceptional musician to elevate your event, stop searching and hire Kristina. My husband and I would hire her again in a heartbeat and give our highest recommendation!

About
My name is Kristina. I am a pianist who is passionate about spreading the love and joy that music brings. I have been playing piano since I was a kid. After spending seven years in music school, I went from just taking lessons to falling in love with the instrument for life.
I have always been curious about different sounds, so I have never wanted to limit myself to just one style. I am just as happy getting lost in a classical piece as I am sitting down to play the blues.
Beyond performing, I love to create music. As both a performer and composer, I have always believed that music should tell a story. I put a bit of my own story and my own feelings into every piece I write. My original music ranges from soft, melodic tunes to more energetic rhythms. Whether I am performing my own works or interpreting beloved classics, I put the same heart into every note, simply hoping to create a connection with anyone who is listening.
Besides music, I have a background in software engineering. I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Mathematics & Computer Science and worked in the field for many years. It might seem different from music, but this background in thinking logically actually helps me a lot with my musical creativity.
Additional booking notes
No piano on-site? No problem! I ensure a full performance setup by bringing my own digital piano, stand, and an extension cord to ensure the piano is positioned exactly where you'd like it. The piano has high quality, beautiful sound. For large venues, I also provide a dedicated sound system to ensure the music is heard clearly and beautifully throughout the space.
