Professional Singer & Pianist!

Alcira Samson sang and played the piano during our business event. She was prompt, friendly and professional. She really made the evening with her light background piano music and the solos she sang with her beautiful opera voice to the songs we requested. Thank you, Alcira!

What to expect

I sight read very well and am a very versatile musician (accompanist, background pianist, singing pianist, sing-along entertainment & special holiday programs). I can prepare up to 5 songs that are not included in the "Music List" provided (please ask for this list). But, need enough time to prepare new songs. I am flexible with what the host is looking for and believe in following their itinerary very closely.

ACCOMPANIMENT: I sight read very well and can accompany your child's music competition, a soloist who needs a pianist or a music program that needs a pianist for their event.

PARTIES: I play light piano as background music while your guest mingle. And, can include a time of sing-alongs (check the "Music List" for the songs and genres to choose from ) for the guest to join in and have the time of their lives singing with me!

WEDDINGS/FUNERALS: I typically play background piano (hymnal, classical or classic music depending on your taste) before and after the service. Then, I will sing a solo (your decision on how many songs and what songs). I will also lead the guest in group hymnal singing if requested.
*The mood is more reserved and less flair. Ask for the "Music List" to see what songs I typically play. I have strong sight reading skills and can play just about any song if given enough time to prepare.

CONCERTS: I typically sing and play 25 fast and slow songs within one hour from many different familiar genres (hymnal, broadway, classics, country, italian, opera) to add variety and interest. There's a lot more engagement with the audience during the performance and the mood is more energetic.

PROGRAMS/HOLIDAYS: I can make your holiday or program special with live music.
