Pricing for classical pianists ranges from R1,350 to R11,000+, with an average of R5,500. 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.
