Frequently asked questions

Pricing for classical pianists ranges from £70 to £480+, with an average of £250. 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. If the venue does not have a piano, a digital instrument can produce an excellent sound and is easily transported. For the best experience, discuss instrument arrangements with the pianist when making an enquiry.
