Reviews of Classical Pianists available in Sydney

5/5 from 117 reviews
Photo of Gabriel Gonzalez Gabriel Gonzalez "Thanks for a thrilling performance, Gabriel. There is no doubt that your mastery of piano and keyboard is imminent. While I can barely play piano, I do listen as I did when I was last in Sydney. That you have come so far, with such a large repertoire of both classical and South American masterworks, is not presented in what is a grouping of informal music. May I commend you on the interesting variations of intonation that you are able to express. Your technique is enviable. I am unfortunately not an expert in critique. What may help you as you press on to a rating of 102 out of 95, are some observations. That the Kwai is good is undoubted, and even with the Beale that you played upstairs in Allans, before Allans closed, the Pitt Street store, compared against the longer Yamaha Grand that you also played, in any of these, the higher octaves can sound a bit thin against the richness of the lower and middle registers. There were moments in My Way, when I sensed the thinness of the upper octaves. I thought also that as you had to reach so far, you had in fact more time than you think, to add more tone and meaning. I thought that you were a bit rushed at that point of the performance. You have all the skill necessary. Just take a little more time, particularly on your first right hand move into the upper octaves, to let the jazz notes fall like a sprinkling of rain. They are short notes and to fit them into strict time with such a large move up the keyboard, seems for a moment to squeeze the time you think you have to execute several high notes. Elsewhere in the several performance pieces, you extract a richness also in the higher octave notes. Well done. That the piece New York has syncopation and time changes is challenging. Your performed well. I do seem to think that you may benefit by understanding or viewing performances of tap dancers dancing to the piece. It is a difficult idiom, and not one I used to adore. So if we have experienced the dance moves, we may then relate better to the changes. Still very good playing. I so much enjoyed your performances." Based in Sydney, New South Wales Fred Something - Library with $70 headphones Photo of Chanelle On Piano Chanelle On Piano "This woman is so talented. Really made the night extra special and I would highly recommend booking her for all your events. I am even excited to book her again. SO AMAZING!!! Beautiful soul and awesome energy, a whole experience you wouldn’t want to miss out on." Based in Mossel Bay, Western Cape, South Africa (6,694 miles from Sydney) Jodi Klassen Photo of San Francisco Bay Area Musician Harp Piano San Francisco Bay Area Musician Harp Piano "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️What truly blew everyone away, was when Mary Mei showcased her incredible versatility on the Guzheng a traditional Chinese Zither . The brilliant blend of Western classical mastery and traditional Eastern string artistry added a unique, unforgettable flavor to our celebration that our families are still raving about." Based in San Jose, California, United States (7,434 miles from Sydney) 22nd September 2026 Susan Chavez - Special celebration Photo of Matthew Zelenin Music Matthew Zelenin Music "Matthew was great! He was extremely talented and professional. We requested multiple songs for him to learn and he played them all perfectly! He was extremely accommodating. He brought all his equipment, arrived early for set up, and executed everything perfectly. We will definitely use him again for future events and recommend him to friends!" Based in Austin, Texas, United States (8,469 miles from Sydney) 21st March 2026 Ashley - Private Wedding Photo of Nate and Chris Jazz Nate and Chris Jazz "A Masterclass in Professional Saxophone & Performance! If you are looking for top-tier musical professionalism, this is an absolute must-hire. As a retired Army musician with over 30 years of experience, Chris brings a level of discipline, talent, and "class" that is rare to find. His expertise shines through in every note, whether performing traditional jazz, swing, or beautiful holiday classics. Chris’s soulful saxophone work—clearly influenced by greats like John Coltrane—is the highlight of the performance. He is incredibly versatile, having performed at everything from intimate weddings and private parties to military ceremonies and international concerts across the US and South America. What makes this act stand out is the sheer reliability and adaptability. He arrives early, provides professional sound and lighting systems, and is happy to tailor the repertoire to include specific client requests. Whether you need sophisticated background music for a corporate gala or a lively performance for a celebration, Chris delivers a flawless, high-quality show every time. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a truly polished, world-class musician!" Based in Kansas City, Missouri, United States (8,844 miles from Sydney) 12th March 2026 Tim Romane - Private Party Photo of Gentle Piano Music Gentle Piano Music "A true professional and impressively talented! She was just a lovely addition to our formal cocktail party! A true talented professional! She played beautiful traditional Christmas music for our holiday cocktail party! She was great at communicating with us, even prior to us booking her. She wanted to know exactly what our wants and desires were, and she made sure she satisfied our wishes. A very pleasant and classy touch to our evening was had. We would highly recommend everyone to hire her to add that elegant and sophisticated touch of class to your event."

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for classical pianists ranges from $140 to $1,000+, with an average of $490. Rates depend on the pianist's experience, the length of the performance and whether a specific repertoire is required. Some pianists may also factor in whether a suitable instrument is available at the venue or whether they need to bring a digital piano.

The classical pianists on Gig Heaven perform classical piano repertoire ranging from baroque and romantic works to twentieth-century pieces, alongside film scores and classical arrangements of well-known songs. Many pianists can shape the programme to suit different moments, from a formal recital feel to gentle background music during a reception.

Events that commonly feature classical pianists include wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, corporate events, private dinners, hotel lobbies and formal occasions. Piano music provides an elegant and sophisticated atmosphere that complements a wide range of event settings.

Some classical pianists bring their own digital piano or keyboard, while others prefer to use an acoustic piano if one is available at the venue.

For the best experience, discuss instrument arrangements with the pianist when making an enquiry.
