"When Richard Ellis Hawley came out to New Zealand to visit Family and friends I took the opportunity to ask Richard if he would come and play the piano at the local rest home that I was doing voluntary work and Richard came and played to the residents for a couple of hours. Richard played a variety of songs from the era that the residents grew up with they loved him playing it was just wonderful it bought back memories to the residents and put a smile on their faces in fact they didn't want Richard to finish. Also I asked Richard for a CD he made of all his friends favourite songs including mine Unforgettable which was posted over to me in New Zealand where I live and I play it to my friends. Richard is a very gifted and talented musician would recommend him for all occasions."

"David Brussel is a true professional. I tried to make sure he had the music he needed to play, but when the event went off script by throwing in extra music, he was able to improvise on the spot in a seamless way, by ear! I cant tell you how happy I was with his performance. I would highly recommend Mr. Brussel to anyone. No matter what piano music you need at your event, you can put your mind at ease that David Brussel will take care of it for you."

"I contacted Bleus Rêves to gift their music to my sister and brother-in-law for their civil wedding ceremony. They were incredibly accommodating and patient in every respect: helping with the choice of repertoire, last-minute program changes, and logistics upon arrival at the venue. The event was truly elevated by their music, which moved everyone present. Highly recommended!"

""Bear feet lovers" on the white Greek sand, sea breeze of the golden flute, romantic guitar and the deep tender voice accompanied by jazzy piano. Mixture of modern European pop music with ethnic fusion experienced widely and based on firm classical studies- That is how our band sounds. "

"We collaborated with St. Moritz Pianist Lounge for a series of events in a high-end venue, and the level of quality has been consistently excellent every single time. Reliability and consistency at this level are not easy to find. Each performance feels carefully adapted to the specific evening, the audience, and the atmosphere of the venue. This flexibility makes a huge difference, especially in environments where the mood can change throughout the night. The music is always tasteful, refined, and perfectly suited to an elegant setting. It enhances the overall experience without ever becoming too dominant, which is exactly what you want in this type of context. From an organizational perspective, everything is handled smoothly and professionally. There is a strong sense of experience and confidence that makes collaboration easy and stress-free. It has become a go-to choice for our most important events, and we look forward to continuing this collaboration."
