Susan M.
February 3, 2025A Wonderful Performance!
Sean performed wonderfully. He played a wide variety of music and was even willing to have another musician accompany him on violin. He was on time and very professional. As an added bonus, he has a connection to Bowdoin College. The 90-year-old guest of honor is a Bowdoin alumni—small world. I highly recommend this talented musician.

August 14, 2025Better than Broadway!
Sean Fleming is a Renaissance man. He knew how to accompany us in everything from Broadway to Carole King to Mozart. His site reading was spectacular. He was able to direct a large group of people in for part harmonies with music they had just encountered. He is a great human being and a true Maestro. I will engage him again and again.

June 24, 2025Wonderful wedding pianist
Sean played piano during our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner. Throughout the planning process, Sean was professional, helpful, and quick to reply. On the wedding day, Sean provided beautiful music to accompany our ceremony, and he was a HUGE hit with our guests during dinner, taking requests and interacting with the group. Highly recommend booking Sean!
