Description

Peter Kostopoulos specializes in performing for cocktail parties, corporate parties, weddings and other events where good music is required, either for background or dancing. His performances include big band swing music from the 40's, many of the classic "oldies" from the 50's, 60's, 70's, and pop. His keyboard produces a big band sound in which he often plays clarinet lead. Ambient background piano cocktail music is also his specialty. If you enjoy the standards of Cole Porter and Irving Berlin you will enjoy his performance of the classic American songbook. If you also enjoy classic oldies Peter can play that as well. His musical training includes Berklee College of Music and the New England Conservatory. Many in the audience have told him that if you close your eyes you do not know he is playing as a solo performer. Check out Peter's play list and you will get a flavor of what he does. He has been performing around the New England area for over 20 years.

Parties, retirement parties, corporate events, restaurants, club venues and weddings are his specialty.

Feedback

  • Peter performed for my husband's birthday celebration at our house. He was terrific. He arrived early to set up and started setting the mood for the evening even before guests arrived. His selection of music was perfect and right on target for the evening. From my first contact with Peter he was professional, accessible and very accommodating. My guests were very complimentary of his playing and my husband loved it. I would definitely hire him again for future events. -- Carmen R, lexington, MA, 3/10/2012
  • We found Peter to be very professional in addition to being very talented. We asked him to provide elegant but fun background music at a retirement party of about 70 guests whose ages ranged from the 20's to the 90's. His mix was excellent - we received many, many compliments on Peter's playing and his selection of tunes. We also loved that Peter provides several options during his performance - keyboard, clarinet, etc. Several people asked where we had found him - we told them about Gigmasters.com. I would highly recommend Peter Kostopoulos to anyone who needs a talented keyboardist for any type of event. We thank you, Peter! -- Maureen M, Tewksbury, MA, 11/12/2010
  • THE EVENT WAS OUR 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY WITH 60 GUESTS ( FAMILY AND FRIENDS) - PETER FITTED IN PERFECTLY WITH HIS MUSIC, CHOICES, AND PERFORMANCE - HE WAS VERY ACCOMMODATING AND ADAPTABLE TO VARIOUS EVENTS DURING THE PARTY AND WE HEARD MANY GOOD COMMENTS FROM THE GUESTS. ALBERT RILOFF -- Albert R, Plymouth, MA, 10/24/2010
  • The beautiful full sound of Peter Kostopoulos and his music fills our minds still, just as it filled our lovely wedding reception. Throughout the evening Peter played the most wonderful variety of music ..... perfect for background during dinner and afterwards for dancing. Every single one of our 80 guests loved what and how he played, and complimented us regarding our brilliant choice of a musician. Peter programs his keyboard with an incredibly full sound and then plays his clarinet for a perfect accompaniment. The resulting sound is in a word, spectacular!!! We would hire him again in a heartbeat!! -- Judy P, Falmouth, MA, 9/27/2010
  • Peter was great for our community event. The guests were diverse, and at our request, he played something for everyone. This included Greek and Arabic. We got many compliments about Peter's playing and how much people enjoyed the event. My only disappointment, a mistake from misreading his "press kit", was I expected him to sing. Seeing how much people enjoyed themselves and his music though, I think he was the perfect fit. He was easy to plan with and came 1hr early. We had him scheduled to start 30 minutes into the event. Peter graciously started playing as soon as he was set up and set a great mood from beginning to end. I highly recommend him! -- Athanasia K, Brookline, MA, 5/14/2010
  • Peter was a true professional and kept our veteran's enterained for 2 hours. He played consistently and only took a few minute break when we prompted him to do so. Excellent disposition and pleasure to work with. Would use him again without questions. Txs Rob -- Rob O, Bedford, MA, 5/25/2011
