March 18, 2026I hired Rosalind for events at both our skilled nursing and assisted living facilities, and everyone absolutely loved her! The music was beautiful, she was great at engaging with the residents, and everyone enjoyed learning a bit about the instruments and the music as this was for a St. Patrick's Day event. She also was great at communicating with me prior to the event to discuss specifics of what I was looking for and to make sure that the event would be successful.
