Overview
I’m a professional pianist who specializes in music that supports a moment rather than competes with it. I provide live piano music for events where atmosphere, restraint, and emotional intelligence matter — receptions, private gatherings, corporate events, memorials, and quiet celebrations. I perform on an existing piano at the venue and tailor repertoire and pacing to the room, creating a warm, unobtrusive presence that enhances conversation and reflection without overpowering the space.

December 25, 201895th birthday family party
Michael's music brought the 95 year-old celebrant to life - she was smiling throughout his playing, commenting and reacting to the music that she remembered from when she was younger. We were more than pleased with his performance and all enjoyed the event.
Michael is very personable and talented, and we would definitely hire him again.
