I can perform, accompany and/or improvise in somewhat classical music style on the piano or play flute in small ensemble groups for events, concerts or merely just for background music. I have accompanied instrumentalists as well as played at embassy hosted events, serving as background music.
I am classically trained but love to play around and improvise on the piano in my free time.

Preferably have a piano or digital keyboard available at the venue or one that can be provided.
Can pay for transport.
Space availability and any sound amplifiers or limits. Eg. Large venue with speakers or echoing acoustics or small restaurant with little to no acoustics echoing.
No, I do not have any equipment available.
Yes.
At a church concert, in a large chapel. It was a lovely experience to play any hymn I wanted and due to the venue being a chapel, the acoustics were amazing and it amplified the piano quite well with the natural acoustics.
Restaurant background music. I loved not being the centre of attention but still providing the customers with an enjoyable restiarant experience, giving them lovely music to pair up with the amazing food.
I got invited to play and accompany a violinist at an embassy hosted dinée for their end of year celebration. My friend had connections and was in charge of planning the music for that occasion and requested that I be the pianist of that event.
The Beatles, their music had enough emotional depth for a good performance but serves enough musical freedom that I can improvise over the timeless melodies.
I am part of a small ensemble, playing the flute. If one needs a flautist in an ensemble or to add extra timbres to a band, the flute is always a delight addition to spice things up.
1 hour set up before and to test the quality of the piano as well as how the acoustics sound in that particular venue. Performance times usually depend on how long the client wants with 20 minutes short breaks to hydrate or get refreshment if the event allows.
Happy to perform as long as there is a power supply cable nearby and good sound system so that the music is audible enough.
Clients may have a say in what should be performed as long as there is an suffient notice before the event so that the musician can practice and be more prepared.
Previous client had positive feedback and was impressed with the flexibility and improvisation skills which the musician executed when an unexpected situation occurred.
