A pleasure to work with.
Cornel was Excellent! The music Cornel played was perfect for our 40th birthday party. He was interested in wanting to know our brief and delivered it perfectly. Professional, smart and beautiful music. We would definitely use Cornel again and recommend him to anyone looking for a pianist. He also engaged with the children which was wonderful.
He was great - very polite and friendly, and a great pianist. Thanks again
