Review by josephine s.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on July 30, 2018From New York City, NY

Michael did a great job playing piano during the cocktail reception for a black tie event I held at the Burden Kahn Mansion. He was very communicative before the event and asked if I had any special requests. Guests commented to me that they enjoyed his playing very much. It allowed for easy conversation yet loud enough to fill the room. One guest jotted a letter commenting on “his ability to bring Nat King and Natalie Cole’s music to life!”. Thank you once again Michael!

Michael was fun, talented and professional. He played for a dinner party and he made it memorable and musical! We thoroughly enjoyed his energy and piano playing. Our guests thought it was awesome too!!
