August 23, 2026Luke Westbrook is a Star!
Luke not only played beautiful and appropriate music for our "Celebration of Life" at Villa Montalvo in Saratoga, but he went above and beyond by communicating with the sponsoring-Family about their particular needs.
As a retired University Professor of Music, I am well-aware of what makes a musician stand out. I'm so glad we choose Luke to play this Gig, and recommend him highly.
