Photo of Sydney Cello Sydney Cello "Thank you so much for your beautiful cello playing, the music was perfect and made the ceremony so special and beautiful!! We loved everything and only have positive feedback - thank you so much!! You’ve been so easy to work with and I really appreciate you learning all the pieces we requested and making helpful suggestions. I have a recording of the whole ceremony and have already watched it twice and you just sounded so beautiful." Based in Sydney, New South Wales (153 miles from Canberra) Amy Tesoriero - Wedding Ceremony Photo of Yohan Lakshitha | Violinist🎻 Yohan Lakshitha | Violinist🎻 "Grateful to Yohan for opening our event, Melodies in the Sky with Anjalee, on Saturday, 9 May 2026, with such a heartfelt violin performance. It truly set the perfect tone" Based in Melbourne, Victoria (290 miles from Canberra) 16th May 2026 Suminda Photo of Soek-a-beatz Soek-a-beatz "Thanks for the Epic performance Darshal. You really lit up our geet with your amazing tabla skills. Would definitely recommend you to all!" Based in Perth, Western Australia (1,919 miles from Canberra) Rohit and Bavisha - Geet night Photo of Organist Organist "He plays so the congregation can get the perfect key to the hymns and also with the best intros" Based in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa (6,692 miles from Canberra) Angelina Yon - Funeral Photo of David Tv Barnes David Tv Barnes "Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. We hired David for our wedding cocktail hour and the introduction of the bride and groom, and he completely elevated the entire event. The moment he started playing, the atmosphere shifted — it felt elegant, emotional, and honestly like something out of a movie. His saxophone tone is unreal. Smooth, powerful, and perfectly controlled. He read the room effortlessly, switching between classy background vibes and more expressive moments without ever overpowering the space. Multiple guests came up to us asking who he was and how we found him. He coordinated seamlessly with our DJ, showed up early, and came prepared with everything needed. Zero stress on our end — just pure professionalism. If you’re debating whether to book him: don’t overthink it. He’s the real deal. Worth every dollar and then some. We’d book him again in a heartbeat." Based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (7,407 miles from Canberra) 23rd June 2026 Samantha Allen - Private Wedding Photo of Myat.BurmeseViolinist Myat.BurmeseViolinist "Ms. Myat delivered an absolutely captivating violin performance at DaVinci’s Italian restaurant. From the moment she began playing, the atmosphere transformed into something truly special, elegant, warm and emotionally rich. Her technique was flawless, but what stood out even more was her ability to connect with the audience through every note. She moved effortlessly between pieces, blending classical charm with a modern touch that suited the ambiance of the restaurant perfectly. Whether playing soft, romantic melodies or more vibrant, expressive compositions, she maintained a level of artistry that held everyone’s attention. It’s rare to find a performer who enhances a dining experience so completely, but Ms. Myat did just that. Anyone fortunate enough to hear her play will leave with a lasting impression." Based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (7,407 miles from Canberra) 27th April 2026 Hashem - Restaurants manager
