Beth Mankel Pianist from Lexington, KY

Beth didn't choose music, music chose her. It is in her bloodline. It is what she does, what she lives and what she is. Having been a musician for over 30 years, her experience in the field is extensive. Beth has performed for hundreds of weddings, receptions and private parties. Not only is her field of study Classical piano, (she holds a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance), but her amazing voice comes as naturally as breathing. She is able to perform any style of music and because of this she is in high demand. You can find her CD GROW, which she finished in 2002 on ITunes. This was just one step in Beth's accomplishments. She was Director of Music at Crossroads Christian Church in Lexington for 10 years where she led the team of musicians each weekend. In 2006, Beth opened Studio 88, where she teaches group or private piano lessons. Beth was influenced by the music of Heart, Fleetwood Mac, and other rock artists and more recently enjoys singing Adele, Sara Bareilles and Corinne Bailey Rae. Her ability to morph into other musical styles is incredible and with that comes versatility for any event. In May of 2010, Beth was asked to play for Prince Faisal of Saudi Arabia at Castlepost in Versailles Ky. She performed classical music each day during his visit and was invited by the Prince himself to perform for his private dinner party. The audience was so taken by Beth that the Prince invited her to join them for dinner. Beth enjoys crafting music to fit the style of each event, especially weddings, and is able to learn music quickly and perform it beautifully. Having played for many weddings, Beth knows that it is crucial to your ceremony that you have the best music. It is important that you consider your music in the beginning plans of your wedding as it sets the mood for the entire day. Your guests will experience the emotion that you feel if the music is perfect for you. It is worth the investment! If you need an excellent, classy band to play for your party or reception, the 5 piece Beth Mankel Group will provide an excellent backdrop, with a wide range of music in their repertoire.
