Photo of Schönes Piano Schönes Piano "It was magical. Jürg's accompaniment was simply perfect. We specified some music requests and Jürg timed them perfectly and played them – it made our forest wedding magical. During the aperitif, he played further songs that entertained our guests – not intrusive, not too little – it was absolutely perfect. The entire wedding party raved about it 🙏🏻 Many thanks to Jürg for this wonderful performance" Translated from German Based in Bern, Canton of Bern (43 miles from Basel) 19th September 2026 Moelgg - Private Hochzeit Photo of Pianist Zürich Pianist Zürich "For our wedding in St. Gallen, we hired this pianist and are very grateful for his performance. He was professional, friendly, and very reliable. The music during the ceremony was beautiful and emotional, perfectly attuned to the moment. At the reception, he continued the musical accompaniment with a diverse repertoire that delighted all our guests. Many praised his performance as a highlight of the celebration. His sensitivity, technique, and elegance make him a pianist we recommend without reservation."

Highly recommend." Based in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany (112 miles from Basel) 22nd January 2026 Smiley J Photo of Organista e pianista Bellinzona Organista e pianista Bellinzona "I had the pleasure of hiring this pianist for a private event in Bellinzona, and the experience was outstanding in every respect. From the first interaction, it was clear that this is a highly skilled professional who takes great pride in their work. The preparation phase was smooth and well-organized. All details were discussed in advance, and there was a strong sense of reliability and commitment. This made the planning process much easier and stress-free. On the day of the event, the piano performance was simply superb. The music created an elegant and relaxed atmosphere that perfectly matched the tone of the evening. The repertoire was diverse and thoughtfully chosen, and the execution was flawless. What impressed me most was the ability to adapt to the flow of the event. The music always felt appropriate, whether guests were arriving, dining, or simply enjoying the moment. It added a level of sophistication that would have been impossible to achieve otherwise. Many guests commented on how much they enjoyed the live music, and I personally felt that it elevated the entire event. I would highly recommend this service to anyone looking for a professional pianist or organist in Canton Ticino." Based in Bellinzona, Canton Ticino (116 miles from Basel) 23rd March 2026 Daniel W. Photo of Violinist for events and weddings Violinist for events and weddings "An exceptional duo, both artistically and professionally. From our first contact, they were kind, responsive, and truly focused on our needs. During the event, they created an elegant and engaging musical backdrop, enhancing every part of the wedding from the ceremony to the reception. The combination of violin and piano was absolutely stunning and captivated all of our guests. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for quality, emotion, and professionalism."
