Photo of Will Reyes Music Will Reyes Music "Will Reyes was an amazing saxophone player. He was professional, friendly and overall fantastic. He was great with getting a play list together. He took all my suggestions and also played selections of his own. You will not be disappointed. I would give more than 5 stars if it was possible. If you want to have a great event definitely book Will. I can’t recommend him enough." Based in Nutley, New Jersey (80 miles from Philadelphia) Maureen Reda Photo of Desmond Ivey Desmond Ivey "Richard C. November 14, 2021 Verified review Beautiful Music Provided By An Authentic Gentleman Desmond performed for me and my loved ones last night while we gathered to celebrate my close friend's 50th Birthday. He arrived on time and spent the first few minutes setting up his equipment. I was expecting only a guitarist. I had no idea I had hired a singer too! Desmond performed many classic pop tunes by artists such as Neil Diamond, John Denver, Abba and Frank Sinatra. He is a passionate singer and player and I was captivated the entire time. He is also a very nice man and I'm glad to have met him. I encourage anyone who is looking for a singer/guitarist to enjoy the talents of this unique man." Based in New York (81 miles from Philadelphia) 23rd December 2025 Richard C. Photo of Elegant Piano: Cocktail, Jazz & Pop Elegant Piano: Cocktail, Jazz & Pop "A wonderful experience with Jay. He was so responsive when we first contacted him about our event in Stonington CT (a birthday party for my mother with approx. 40 guests at the La Grua Center), and his repertoire spanned all of the types of music were were looking for (jazz, classical, some show tunes). His playing was just so lovely at the event. A pleasure to meet him and have him join this event. My mother was so thrilled and it made her birthday very special. Many thanks to Jay. Highest recommendation."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring classical soloists is $390, with prices from $130 to $1,050+. Pricing depends on the musician's experience, the instrument, performance duration and the style of music. Classical soloists cover a wide range of instruments and repertoire, and performers with advanced training and professional concert experience tend to command higher fees.

The classical soloists on Gig Heaven include performers on violin, cello, flute, harp, piano, guitar, clarinet, oboe and many other instruments. It is worth browsing profiles to find a soloist who plays the specific instrument you are looking for.

Hiring classical soloists is ideal for wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, corporate dinners, gallery openings, private parties and formal events. A solo musician provides elegant, refined entertainment that works well as background music or as a featured performance.

Many classical soloists offer arrangements of contemporary songs, film soundtracks and popular hits alongside their classical repertoire. This allows the performance to appeal to a wider audience while retaining the elegance of a live acoustic instrument.

Most classical soloists need very little beyond a chair and adequate space. Harpists may need a specific amount of floor space and access for transporting the instrument. For larger venues, some soloists may use a small amplifier. It is worth confirming any specific requirements with the musician.
