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.

Fantastic Pianist!

Michael arrived on time and performed as requested. It made our eightieth Birthday Party and event. Michael was most gracious in responding to requests! A highlight of our evening.

95th 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.

What to expect

My piano music provides a gentle ambiance which lends itself to excellent background or contemplative listening.

About

I have been playing piano professionally for 35 years in various hotels, restaurants, and retirement residences on Southern Vancouver Island. I have also been an integral part of weddings and other special occasions. I charge $50.00 per hour. My style of music lends itself to excellent background or contemplative listening.
