DESCRIPTION:
So elegant, special and unforgettable! That's what Claudia, the Passionate Pianist, will make of your party. Watch her videos here, even on LIVE TV. What makes her really different from other performers is the feeling that she transmits through her music (a rare mix of passion and sweetness) and her amazingly wide repertory. She is a solo pianist, and plays all types of background piano music. Her cocktail style piano will make any occasion more delightful, adding a touch of sophistication and creating a beautiful ambience as well as a warm and relaxed atmosphere for dinners and receptions. If you are looking just for an average pianist that will give you acceptable background noise at a very low rate, she may not be your choice. You will find hundreds of those performers. But if you want to make your event really special, you must hire Claudia. Your event is unique, so you owe yourself the gift of having this unique passionate pianist. The reviews from those who had the privilege of having her play and what they said on live TV (watch the video of reviews) speak for her. If you don't have an acoustic piano at the venue, she will bring her digital piano. She has 60 wedding music samples online. Contact her to get the link and also visit her attractive website! The ideal occasions for her to perform are: *** cocktail piano for settings where ambient music is all that's needed; *** easy listening music, where there is moderate audience interaction; *** pianobar / open mike entertainment, using singalong-type tunes. She doesn't accompany professional singers, or play with bands, nor does she play for dances (but the guests can spontaneously dance any to her romantic interpretations). Just contact her through the form at the bottom. It´s free and it will not imply any commitment from you. This way you will be able to exchange phone numbers and e-mails without paying any fee for the contact, and then to discuss directly with her how she will be able to add that special touch of solo piano to your event. She also speaks Spanish (ella tambien habla espaniol / castellano). ATTENTION, PLEASE: Don't forget to UNCHECK the last feature on the contact form that offers you to contact other people. If you leave it checked as it is, you may be bombarded with phone calls from all source of performers, most unrelated to what you are looking for. So please, UNCHECK the "(optional)" box on the contact form below.
Leaving it checked tells Gigmasters to submit this contact form to 10 random acts or more with YOUR phone number, email address and information about your event. Most of them will call you.
To get a PRIVATE and PERSONAL quote from Claudia on this inquiry, simply UNCHECK the box that says, "(optional)".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BACKGROUND: Claudia, the Passionate Pianist, started studying in the Conservatory at the age of 6 years old, and graduated with the highest honors at the age of 13 years old as Superior Professor of Piano.
She performed for the first time at 7 years old at a Concert for advanced students in her native city in Argentina. During her childhood she performed numerous times in presentations sponsored by the Conservatory, as well as in the celebrations of her School.
She graduated as a Certified Public Accountant, worked as bank manager and as a University Professor of Economic Sciences. While this was her "day job", she always had her "Professional Hobby" of playing the piano in private parties, corporate events and friend's celebrations. Her close relations with the business world opened her to opportunities to meet people who hired her as a background solo pianist for their events.
She was nourished with the passion that only the Argentinian Tango can transmit, and extended such a passion to perform to her whole repertory, which covers almost all the musical genres.
In 2002 she married an American man, which brought her to live in the U.S.A., where she exchanged definitively her former "hobby" of a solo pianist to be her career, making Economic Sciences as her hobby during her spare time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Her music was an elegant and beautiful way to celebrate our wedding brunch. I contacted Claudia even though she is located out of state and from the first contact I had with her I knew she was the one and only one for our wedding. Her spirit and passion for the piano transcended across the ballroom. Her timing, grace and experience helped create a multitude of wonderful wedding moments. She is amazing and I strongly recommend her to anyone who wants to make their event unforgettable. Claudia, your music truly touched our hearts...thank you for making the journey to us, you and your talents are beyond words.

Claudia is beyond the imagination of what you would expect from a professional pianist. She made the effort to preview our event facility, to learn about her audience, and to offer suggestions. She provided the perfect musical backdrop to our event. We recommend Claudia to everybody. We will hire her again without question!

She is the best! Fantastic, terrific! We hired her in an "emergency". The pianist we hired... canceled 2 days before the party! When we decided to hire the Passionate Pianist we thought her price was too much for our budget, but since we didn't have more choices, we went ahead. WOW... what a surprise! We would pay her twice or more the next time, we will save on other items for a party, but we will have Claudia as the background pianist! You have no idea how important is to have this wonderful pianist that creates a warm and relaxed atmosphere. It is the perfect touch that makes your party just perfect. Thank you, Claudia... you are incredible!

During my more than 30 years of experience as an Event Planner and Talent Agent, I hired literally hundreds of background / ambient pianists. So believe me, I make this statement without any doubt: Claudia, the Passionate Pianist, is the best of all whom I have known. She has no comparison in this field. She deserves the highest rating possible. Not only I recommend her, but I encourage everybody to hire her over any other option. For the rest of my career I will never hire another pianist if she is available for my events.

Claudia is amazing, wonderful, unique! She is so professional, friendly, elegant and provided the most beautiful background piano music you can imagine. She is the best in every sense! I am speechless! I give her the highest recommendation possible. When you have to choose the pianist for your event, do not tray to save a few dollars hiring someone just because of a low rate. Choose quality (besides, Claudia has very reasonable rates for what she offers). Nobody can compare with the Passionate Pianist!

Claudia gave a beautiful and elegant performance. Even though she was playing background piano, many times the guests stopped everything just to listen to her. She has a large repertory and was able to accomodate our requests. Her range of music is wider than any other pianist we have heard. We were truly delighted with her music and would encourage anyone who wants to hire an absolutely charming, talented and beautiful pianist for their event to contract with the "Passionate Pianist". For our next event, she is our ONLY choice.
