St. Moritz Pianist Lounge Pianist for events and weddings – elegant emotions for every special moment

A minimum performance space of around 2 x 2 meters is required for the piano setup, preferably in a sheltered and well-positioned area. Access to a standard power outlet (220V) is needed if a digital piano or amplification is used.

For optimal sound and atmosphere, I recommend a quiet corner or a location that allows the music to blend naturally with the event without excessive background noise. A stable, level surface is essential for the instrument.

If the venue is easily accessible for loading and unloading equipment, setup will be smooth and efficient. One nearby parking space is appreciated for transport purposes.

I am flexible and happy to adapt to different venues and settings, ensuring a refined and elegant performance in any environment.

I require clear directions to easily locate the venue, along with detailed information about access points for loading and unloading equipment. It is important to know if there are stairs, elevators, or any restrictions that could affect setup.

I also need to be informed about the exact performance area, including whether the space is indoors or outdoors, and any specific conditions such as weather protection if the event is outside.

Details regarding available power supply, potential sound limitations (such as sound limiters or volume restrictions), and the general schedule of the event are essential to ensure a smooth performance.

Additionally, it is helpful to know if a piano is already available on-site or if I should provide my own instrument, as well as any dress code or stylistic preferences to align perfectly with the event.

Providing this information in advance allows me to deliver a seamless, elegant, and perfectly tailored musical experience.

Yes, I am fully self-contained regarding sound equipment. I provide my own professional audio system when needed, ensuring high-quality sound suitable for elegant events and refined atmospheres.

I do not provide lighting equipment, as I prefer to focus entirely on the musical aspect and maintain a clean, sophisticated setup

Yes, I can provide background music via Spotify (or similar streaming services) before and between my piano sets to maintain a continuous elegant atmosphere throughout the event.

The music can be selected either by me, based on a refined and appropriate mood for the occasion, or curated by the client according to their personal preferences. This ensures a seamless musical experience from start to finish, perfectly aligned with the style and tone of the event

One of the most memorable experiences I’ve had as a pianist was performing at a private luxury wedding in an exclusive countryside villa setting, surrounded by nature, candlelight, and an incredibly elegant atmosphere. The ceremony took place outdoors at sunset, and I played a carefully selected repertoire of classical and jazz pieces while the couple and guests arrived. The emotional intensity of the moment, combined with the natural acoustics and refined setup, made it truly unforgettable.
Another highlight was performing during an upscale corporate gala in a historic venue with stunning architecture and a grand piano on stage. The combination of sophisticated design, attentive audience, and a perfectly curated musical program created a very high-level artistic environment where every note felt significant.
What makes these experiences special is not only the prestige of the location, but the atmosphere created together with the client’s vision. I always focus on adapting the music

My favourite type of events are elegant weddings and high-end private ceremonies. There is something truly special about being part of such an important and emotional moment, where music plays a key role in shaping the atmosphere and memories of the day.

I also particularly enjoy refined corporate events and luxury receptions, where the environment is sophisticated and the audience appreciates subtle, high-quality live music. In these contexts, the piano becomes part of the overall aesthetic experience, adding class and depth without overwhelming the space.

What I value most is the ability to adapt my performance to the mood of each event, whether it is intimate and emotional or formal and prestigious. Every setting offers a unique opportunity to create elegance through music.

I began my musical journey with a classical piano education, which gave me a strong technical foundation and a deep appreciation for repertoire ranging from Baroque and Romantic composers to modern classical interpretations. Over time, my interest expanded into jazz and swing, which allowed me to develop a more flexible and expressive performance style.
I started performing at a young age in small concerts, local events, and private functions, gradually building experience in adapting music to different environments and audiences. This naturally led to more professional engagements, including weddings, corporate events, and exclusive private gatherings.
As my experience grew, so did my focus on creating refined, elegant atmospheres tailored to each occasion. Today, I regularly perform at weddings, luxury events, and sophisticated venues, always with a carefully curated instrumental repertoire designed to enhance the overall experience.

My musical influences come mainly from the classical, jazz, and swing traditions.

From the classical world, I am deeply inspired by composers such as Chopin, Debussy, and Rachmaninov, whose piano works combine technical brilliance with profound emotional depth. Chopin in particular has shaped my sensitivity to melody, phrasing, and expressive nuance at the piano.

In the jazz and swing realm, I draw inspiration from artists like Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, and Duke Ellington, whose music represents elegance, sophistication, and timeless groove. Their approach to harmony and improvisation has strongly influenced the way I interpret and adapt pieces for live performance.

Rather than having a single “favourite artist,” I tend to admire different musicians for different aspects of their artistry—emotional expression, harmonic richness, or rhythmic sophistication.

As for the “greatest song of all time,” I would say it depends on context and interpretation. However, pieces like Clair de L

I perform an exclusively instrumental repertoire that includes classical music, jazz, and swing. My selection is carefully curated to create an elegant, refined, and timeless atmosphere suitable for weddings, events, and luxury occasions.

Yes, clients are welcome to request specific pieces, especially for key moments such as ceremonies or entrances. I usually recommend choosing from my repertoire for most of the event, but I am happy to accommodate special requests agreed in advance.

I normally arrive around 60–90 minutes before the performance time to set up, check the piano or keyboard setup, test the sound if amplification is required, and ensure everything is perfectly aligned with the venue and atmosphere.

My typical performance format is flexible, but most often consists of 2 x 45-minute sets or 2 x 60-minute sets, depending on the type and flow of the event. These durations work particularly well for weddings, receptions, and elegant gatherings, allowing the music to support the atmosphere without becoming intrusive.

That said, I am always happy to adapt the timing to suit the specific needs of the event. Shorter background sets, longer continuous performances, or more tailored arrangements can all be discussed in advance to ensure a seamless musical experience.

Yes, I am happy to perform outdoors, as long as a few important conditions are met to ensure both the quality of the performance and the safety of the equipment.

Ideally, the performance area should be flat, stable, and protected from direct sun, wind, or rain (for example under a gazebo, marquee, or shaded structure). This helps maintain both sound quality and instrument stability.

Access to a nearby power supply is required if amplification or a digital piano is used, and it should be positioned as close as possible to the performance area to avoid unnecessary cabling across walkways.

With these simple arrangements in place, outdoor performances can be extremely atmospheric and beautiful, especially for weddings and elegant summer events.

Clients are absolutely welcome to have a say in the music I play. I offer a carefully curated repertoire of classical, jazz, and swing pieces, and from this selection they can choose the overall mood and style they prefer for their event.
In addition, I am happy to accommodate specific song requests for particularly important moments (such as ceremonies, entrances, or first dances). These are usually agreed in advance to ensure they are arranged and performed at the highest level.
Typically, I recommend selecting from my established repertoire for the majority of the performance, as it guarantees a smooth flow and a refined, cohesive atmosphere. However, I always aim to tailor the music to the client’s vision, so the final set can be a perfect balance between my artistic direction and their personal preferences.
