I would like to present and share my elegant music with 22 years' experience... I'm a professional Cellist and also a chamber and orchestra musician. As a solo performance, I'm playing with sound-looping technology. As well as performing familiar classical pieces, I'm also playing some Tango, Jazz, Klezmer and Pop/Rock songs you might like.

We had the most amazing day and Benan was fantastic - her playing definitely brought out the emotion in our ceremony and was a lovely backing to our drinks reception. Our guests all commented on how fantastic she was. This was also a last minute booking due to a previous cancellation, Benan was very accommodating and helpful in the lead up to our wedding day, so can't thank her enough for that! 😊

This was such a lovely idea we are so glad that could work out at the last minute. We had an early morning registration period with long lines and wanted something soothing, and relaxing for our guests to listen to that was not a DJ. Having Benan come to play was the perfect fit and it sounded amazing inside the tent. Thank you for accepting our last minute booking and being such an amazing musician!

She was fantastic and played all the music we wanted. She put our minds at ease through letting us know her play list and sent me a recording of her music. Very professional and friendly. I highly recommend Coda

We found Benan at literally a week’s notice for our wedding when our previous cellist dropped out. She gave an amazing performance both for the ceremony and reception, and our guests all keep saying how fantastic she was!

A few months ago, I had the immense pleasure of experiencing a performance by Benan at Kibele. It fell in love with her music at first sight, and I am still in awe of the sheer brilliance and artistry displayed on stage. That is why I wanted her to perform on my wedding day at Marylebone townhall. Benan is a true maestro of the cello, and her performance left me utterly spellbound! You were amazing Benan! You played the cello so beautiful. That was one of the best day of our lives and thaaaank you so much making it so special!! You are such an incredible person! Thank you so much Benan! Your music has touched my soul in ways words cannot express. Thank you for sharing your extraordinary talent with the world and making our wedding day so special. Benan possesses an uncanny ability to breathe life into every piece she performs. Her interpretation was nothing short of breathtaking. She plays with her heart and you can feel it through her music! ❤❤ Benan's stage presence exuded confidence and grace. She established an immediate connection with the audience, drawing us into the music and allowing us to experience its full depth and beauty. Benan is a luminary in the world of classical music, a virtuoso whose talent knows no bounds. Her performance was an experience that will resonate with me for years to come and remind me of the beautiful feelings in life: Love, human connection and deep peace. It was serendipity that I met her and I'm happy that she performed on our special day ! I will never forget her and the amazing music she brought to life and all the emotions I could feel through her performance. If you have the opportunity to witness her perform, do not hesitate – it is an experience that transcends mere entertainment and delves into the realm of true artistry! She is a true artist and brings love and peace to the world through her cello and connects worlds and people with each other.

Both William and I would like to say a huge thank you for the superb job you did at our wedding. Despite the weather, you made the effort to stay outside close to our guests. You were a pleasure to work with and your performance during the ceremony was absolutely brilliant!!
