For your next event, consider the solo cello. With a repertoire that's virtually limitless, and a beautiful old cello that wraps itself around your heart without intruding, I can add that extra warmth to a party, play the bride down the aisle, or entertain on the main stage.
A cello goes just about anywhere, bringing people closer, helping them relax, and bringing a sparkle to their eyes. Listen to the sound bites from my massage CD, Cello Dreams.

I live in Calgary, Alberta, and I've played in Europe, Japan, and all over North America. Most of my clients for casual entertainment are in the Southern Alberta/Southeastern BC area.
