About Private

Private Event & Cocktail Pianist in NYC
Pianist
New York

I’m a New York City–based classical pianist and current medical student with extensive performance experience. I majored in music at Princeton University and enjoy bringing live piano music to private events, cocktail hours, dinners, receptions, and other special occasions. My repertoire spans a wide range of styles, including classical music, American standards, popular favorites, and light jazz. I tailor my playing to the atmosphere of each event, whether you’re looking for elegant classical music, familiar melodies, or relaxed background piano that complements the occasion without overpowering conversation. I’d be delighted to help create a warm and memorable atmosphere for your event.
