Emmanuel booked Prof. Nelly Rodriguez for a birthday party
Tuesday, 19th May 2026
VerifiedNelly came for a solo clarinet recital at our home for my wife's birthday and gave us a memorable evening. She made us discover pieces that we loved, like Saint-Saens' sonata for clarinet and piano, and Belá Kovács' piece in hommage to Manuel de Falla. We loved both her execution of the pieces and the introduction she gave to each of them, which made us understand and appreciate them even more. Thank you Nelly for your beautiful music which made my wife's day special!

VerifiedNelson exceeded all expectations! Thoroughly professional, a beautiful clarinet player, who played effortlessly, with grace and elegance at our private service in a meadow in Derbyshire. He was able to play all the songs requested for the service with skill and confidence and many pieces bought guests to tears. Nelson is a charming, intelligent professional musician with excellent communication skills and was greatly appreciated by those attending on the day.
