I require access to a standard power outlet for the digital piano setup. No other technical support is necessary, and setup is quick and discreet.
To ensure a smooth and professional performance, I kindly ask for the following details about the venue in advance:
Address and exact location of the performance area
Whether there is a piano on-site or if I should bring my digital piano
Access to a power outlet (if I’m using my own instrument)
Indoor or outdoor setting
Estimated number of guests and size of the space
Setup and soundcheck time availability
Parking and unloading access for equipment
Sharing this information ahead of time allows me to prepare everything needed to deliver the best possible musical experience.
I provide my own professional digital piano, which includes a high-quality built-in sound system suitable for small to medium-sized venues. For larger spaces or events requiring amplification, I can connect to the venue’s sound system or bring additional equipment upon request.
Please note that I do not provide lighting equipment. If specific lighting is required, it should be arranged through the venue or an external provider.
Yes.
Every event has something special, but one of the most memorable was an intimate wedding at a historic villa overlooking Lake Geneva. The atmosphere was magical: the ceremony at sunset, the piano under a flowering pergola, and a couple who wanted a fully personalized musical program. It was an honor to help make that moment so emotional.
Among the most beautiful venues I’ve performed at, I fondly remember an evening concert in a small cultural hall in Lausanne, with extraordinary acoustics and an attentive, engaged audience. In that setting, the piano and silence perfectly communicated with each other. That’s the kind of experience every musician dreams of.
I love all kinds of events because each occasion has its own energy and charm, but if I had to choose, I would say weddings are my favourite. There’s something unique about being able to accompany one of the most important days in people’s lives with music, helping to create genuine emotions and unforgettable memories. I also enjoy intimate concerts, where I can create a special atmosphere and have a direct connection with the audience.
I started playing piano as a child, nurturing a passion for classical music and later exploring various genres like jazz and contemporary music. My professional experience grew over time through numerous performances at weddings, private events, corporate dinners, and concerts, both in Switzerland and abroad.
I began playing live mainly out of passion, accepting small local gigs that allowed me to refine my technique and learn to read the audience. Over time, this evolved into a full-time career, driven by my love for music and the desire to make every event a special moment through the notes of the piano.
I have been influenced by many great artists, especially composers and pianists like Ludovico Einaudi, Bill Evans, and Chopin, who inspired me with their ability to convey deep emotions through music. My favourite artist changes somewhat depending on the moment, but if I had to choose one, I would say Leonard Cohen for his poetry and emotional depth.
As for the greatest song of all time, I believe it’s impossible to choose just one; however, John Lennon’s “Imagine” remains for me a universal anthem of peace and hope, capable of touching anyone’s heart.
Yes, I can customize the repertoire according to the clients’ tastes and requests. Just provide me with a list of preferred songs or genres with enough notice so I can prepare a performance tailored to the event.
If the venue has a suitable acoustic piano, I can use it. Otherwise, I bring my professional digital piano, complete with a built-in sound system, to always ensure excellent sound quality.
I recommend booking at least a few weeks in advance, especially during high season. However, if I’m available, I can also consider last-minute requests.
Setting up the equipment usually takes between 20 and 30 minutes, depending on the venue conditions and space availability. This time includes positioning the digital piano, connecting it to power and the sound system (if needed), and conducting a soundcheck.
Regarding the performance, the duration is flexible and can be adjusted to the event’s needs. Typically, performances last from 30 minutes up to 2 hours, with breaks if requested. I am happy to agree on specific timings to ensure the music fits perfectly within the event schedule.
Yes, I am happy to perform outdoors, provided that there are suitable conditions to protect the instrument and ensure good sound quality. It is important that there is some cover in case of direct sunlight or rain, and that a power outlet is available nearby. With these conditions, I can deliver a high-quality performance even outdoors.
I place great importance on my clients’ preferences and am always happy to customize the repertoire according to their tastes and the needs of the event. In addition to a broad and varied ready repertoire, I gladly accept specific requests for songs or musical genres, provided there is adequate notice to prepare the performances properly. The goal is to create the perfect atmosphere tailored to each occasion.
My clients typically describe my performances as elegant, moving, and able to create a refined and welcoming atmosphere. They appreciate my ability to adapt to different situations, providing music that complements the event without ever overpowering it. Many also highlight my professionalism and attention to detail, which make each performance a memorable experience.
