About Pianist

Award-winning pianist for weddings, luxury events & cruises. Classical, jazz, and pop repertoire tailored to your occasion.
Pianist
New York

I am a professional pianist with over 15 years of international performance experience, including as a guest entertainer aboard premium cruise lines and at luxury private events across Europe and the United States. My musical journey began in early childhood, and over two decades I have developed a versatile repertoire that spans classical, jazz, pop, and cinematic music. I hold a degree from the Gnesin Academy of Music in Moscow, one of the most prestigious music institutions in Eastern Europe. I have been a laureate of multiple international competitions, including the “Royal in Jazz” and “Festos,” and have performed as a soloist in concert halls, on stage with jazz bands, and as a background pianist for upscale receptions and weddings. My specialty is creating a sophisticated and emotional musical atmosphere tailored to the mood of each event. Whether it’s elegant classical preludes for a wedding ceremony, smooth jazz standards for a cocktail party, or custom arrangements of modern pop hits, I always ensure that my performance enhances the experience for every guest. I am available for weddings, corporate functions, private dinners, luxury events, and live-stream performances. I travel with my own digital stage piano if needed and can also provide backing tracks or collaborate with other musicians. Based in New York City, I am open to engagements across the tri-state area and beyond.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Clients often say they appreciate my sensitivity, versatility, and ability to set the perfect mood for each moment. Whether it’s an elegant wedding, a private dinner, or a cruise show, I bring warmth, musicality, and a refined stage presence.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I’ve performed on luxury cruise ships (NCL, Oceania, Regent), at private estates, wedding venues across NYC, concert halls in Europe, and international festivals. My experience ranges from intimate salons to large-scale stage productions.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I’ve been deeply influenced by pianists like Keith Jarrett, Bill Evans, and Michel Petrucciani, as well as classical masters like Rachmaninoff and Chopin. Their emotional depth and phrasing inspire my own approach to both improvisation and interpretation.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

One of my most high-profile performances was aboard a luxury transatlantic cruise, where I headlined multiple solo shows in the main theatre. The audience included international guests and dignitaries, and the event was praised for its elegance and artistry.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I always aim to be as flexible as possible. If your schedule changes slightly before the event, just let me know — I’ll do my best to adjust. Clear communication helps us make sure everything runs smoothly on the day.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, I can play background music via iPod or curated playlists before and between my live sets. This service is included at no extra cost, assuming the venue provides a sound system I can connect to. It helps maintain a smooth, consistent atmosphere.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually arrive 45–60 minutes before the performance to warm up and prepare. In most cases, I perform on the venue’s piano if available and in good condition. If needed, I can bring my own keyboard and just require a power outlet and space to set up.

If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?

Yes, I’m happy to perform on your venue’s piano, as long as it is in good working condition and recently tuned. A quality acoustic instrument can add elegance and authenticity to the performance.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Of course! You’re welcome to choose your favorite songs from my repertoire. I’m also happy to help curate a set that matches your event’s style and mood. Special requests are always welcome with prior notice.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

Yes, I can bring my own professional digital keyboard and speaker if the venue doesn’t have an acoustic piano. This service is available for an additional fee. I just need access to a power outlet and enough space to set up comfortably.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes, I’m happy to learn special song requests with advance notice. If the piece isn’t already in my repertoire, I’ll prepare it for a small additional fee to cover rehearsal time and arrangement. Let me know your request as early as possible.
