Electric Cellist Jenny
"Jenny was great! Great communication leading up to the event. She was on time and so lovely to have around. She really made our corporate welcome drinks special."
Cellists & Sisters
"We had the absolute pleasure of having this incredible cellist duo perform at our outdoor winter wedding, and they were simply outstanding. From the very beginning, they were professional, warm, and incredibly responsive. They quickly sent us recordings of the songs we were considering and were able to play every piece we requested — no matter how specific or unique.
On the day itself, they arrived calm, prepared, and completely in control. Even without knowing the exact timings of our order of service, they adapted effortlessly and made every transition feel seamless. Their experience truly shows — they have that rare ability to read the moment and adjust in real time.
Most importantly, they played absolutely beautifully. The music added so much emotion and depth to our ceremony, especially in the winter setting. It was elegant, moving, and unforgettable.
If you’re looking for musicians who are not only exceptionally talented but also make you feel completely at ease, this duo is it. We couldn’t recommend them more highly."
Stefania the Cellist
"We had a wonderful experience with Stefania, who performed at our wedding apéro in a park. As our guests arrived and took in the beautiful surroundings, Stefania elevated the atmosphere with her amazing cello performance and thoughtfully curated repertoire. Her music added a magical touch to the evening and truly made the moment feel special.
Communication with Stefania was smooth and effortless from the beginning. We shared our ideas with her, and she thoughtfully incorporated them into her song choices, making the performance feel personal and meaningful.
Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed her playing. We are deeply grateful to Stefania for being part of our evening. It simply wouldn’t have been the same without her music, and we can wholeheartedly recommend her for any event."
Cellistin
"Brigitte was enthusiastic to perform, accommodating with regard to choice of music and is clearly a very talented cellist.
I would be very happy to engage her again."
Your Pianist for Wedding, Concert & Event
"Lisa Maria was the perfect choice for our winter wonderland wedding in the Swiss Alps of Guarda!
She is very talented and her performance during our ceremony was just the perfect touch to make it so romantic and made everyone feel very emotional!
Lisa Maria went above and beyond with the communication and coordination. Specifically, she was very quick to respond by email and to find solutions to problems. For example, we had the challenge that there was no electricity points at our ceremony location which was outside, in the snow, on the top of a mountain. Lisa Maria did the research and testing to find the solution of an external battery power source that would serve our purposes."

The collaboration proceeded professionally, reliably and smoothly from start to finish. Both we and the guests were delighted with the quality of her performance and her warm manner. We can wholeheartedly recommend Barbara and look forward to future collaborations. Thank you very much for the wonderful musical accompaniment to this special day! ✨"
