Description

Her customers say: "She touches our hearts. Her talents are beyond words." The media said: "Claudia is an outstanding pianist!". The Passionate Pianist will make your event elegant, special and unforgettable. 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 ambient / background music, from West Central-Pennsylvania to Ohio, West Virginia and nationwide. 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 want to make your event really special, you must hire Claudia. The reviews from those who had her play speak for her.

If you don't have an acoustic piano at the venue, she will bring her digital piano.

Just contact her through the form at the bottom. It´s free and it will not imply any commitment from you. Ask Claudia her website address (she cannot mention it here, it is not permitted by Gigmasters) or try to find it through Internet. You will be able to watch her video samples in high quality, read her bio, listen to numerous audio samples, check her repertory, calculate her fee, and much more. Among other audio samples, she has 60 wedding music samples online. Contact her and then discuss directly with her how she will be able to add that special touch of solo piano to your event. But, ATTENTION: don't forget to UNCHECK the box in the Gigmasters form that offers you to contact other performers (it comes checked by default), otherwise you will be bombarded with phone calls and e-mails from all source of performers, most unrelated to what you are looking for. 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).

She also speaks Spanish (ella tambien habla espaniol / castellano).

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. -- Karmen B, Hudson, OH, 4/5/2008
  • 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! -- Martin J. L, Johnstown, PA, 3/3/2008
  • Claudia's performance touched everyone. She is very talented and elegant. We were blessed to have found her and would not hesitate to call on her again. -- Donna S, Monroeville, PA, 2/18/2008
  • Claudia was truly outstanding for our party. She was extremely professional and very talented. We enjoyed her music tremendously. We recommend Claudia to anyone and everyone. It was an awesome experience having the Passionate Pianist perform at our event. -- James S, Murrysville, PA, 12/22/2007
  • She was absolutely awesome!! Her attire was perfect. She played beautifully a wide range of music. Everyone spoke very highly of her and her music. Claudia went far beyond what we had anticipated. Of course, I will hire her again! -- Peter A, Pittsburgh, PA, 12/22/2007
  • She was terrific. We were so impressed. So many people came to me expressing how beautiful her music is and how much they enjoyed. She handled all aspects of the gig with the highest level of professionalism and talent. I would give Claudia the highest recommendation possible! -- Richard H, Pittsburgh, PA, 11/21/2007
  • Perfection!!! She arrived on time, was dressed elegantly and her music set the perfect mood for our event. I knew I made a great choice... and my guests agreed. She was talented and cost effective. Loved her!!!!!! Claudia, Thank you so much, you have exceeded our expectation in every way. -- Kevin R, Greensburg, PA, 11/20/2007
  • 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! -- Heather And Jeremy S, Indiana, PA, 8/17/2007
  • 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. -- Kevin R, Washington, DC, 8/16/2007
  • She is fantastic, absolutely above and beyond anything we ever expected. I can't say enough about Claudia, the Passionate Pianist. She made our party spectacular and unforgettable!! -- Judith O, Cleveland, OH, 8/11/2007
  • 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! -- Donna S, Monroeville, PA, 8/8/2007
  • 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. -- Teresa F, Pittsburgh, PA, 7/8/2007
  • She was PERFECT! Words cannot express how thankful we are that Claudia shared her talent at our party. Her performance was one that will be cherished and remembered for a lifetime. Everyone was commenting on how they enjoyed hearing the Passionate Pianist. -- Peter A, Pittsburgh, PA, 3/9/2008
  • Claudia is the consummate professional, a superb pianist and a wonderful performer. Her image and dress are impeccable... She takes care of every detail. I can't tell how much I appreciate all her help and how quickly she has responded to me. Claudia, in this very special day for us your help has made it even better. Thank you so, so much! -- Kevin R, Pittsburgh, PA, 6/7/2008
