We were looking for a background pianist for our Anniversary party in Indiana (PA). We have to say:  “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. - 8/17/2007 - Anniversary - Indiana, PA - Gig ID#: 301176

“During my more than 30 years of experience as an Event Planner and Talent Agent (DC, MD, VA), 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. - 8/16/2007 - Convention - Washington, DC - Gig ID#: 300684

At the moment to choose a piano player for this event in Cleveland, Ohio, we booked her. And this is what I think about her and her performance: “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. - 8/11/2007 - Grand Opening - Cleveland, OH - Gig ID#: 299273

Looking for a Pianist in Monroeville (PA)? We hired her. “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. - 8/8/2007 - Corporate Function - Monroeville, PA - Gig ID#: 297669

In need of Jazz pianists in Pittsburgh (PA)? This is our experience: “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 accommodate 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. - 7/8/2007 - Private Party - Pittsburgh, PA - Gig ID#: 286209

We had to hire a keyboardist player for our birthday party, in Greensburg (PA), and we booked her. What can I say? “Perfection!!!

Claudia, Thank you so much, you have exceeded our expectation in every way.” - Kevin R.- 11/20/2007 -Birthday Party- Greensburg, PA-Gig ID#: 334325

I had to hire a piano player or keyboardist for our corporate function in Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania). I got many proposals, and finally I think we got the best pianist. In a few words: “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. - 8/17/2007 - Corporate Function - Pittsburgh, PA - Gig ID#: 334679

When it comes to a solo pianist for hire to a Christmas party in Pittsburgh (PA), let me say we had the best keyboard player, that also brought her outstanding portable piano and equipment, to the point we thought we were hearing a real baby grand piano. In summary: 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. - 12/22/2007 - Christmas Celebration at Restaurant - Pittsburgh, PA - Gig ID#: 342947

We organized a Christmas event in Murrysville (Pennsylvania). We wanted an ambient / cocktail pianist. We got the best. So here’s our testimonial: 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 performance at our event  - James S. - 12/22/2007 - Christmas private party at home - Murrysville, PA - Gig ID#: 342950

Hiring a professional piano or keyboard performer in Pittsburgh (PA) can be tricky: many students or players with very little experience offer you jazz piano music at a very low rate. We have had bad experiences until we hired the Passionate Pianist for our private celebration in Monroeville (PA). We didn’t chose her based on the price, and: 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. - 2/18/2008 -  Private celebration - Monroeville, PA - Gig ID#: 363543
This is our experience about cocktail hour pianists or wedding piano performers in Johnstown, Pennsylvania PA, after the search from what we hired this Passionate Pianist: 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. - 3/3/2008 - Corporate function - Johnstown, PA - Gig ID#: 369147 
The best pianist and keyboard player your can get for your private party or event in Pittsburgh (PA) metro area, playing music, from jazz, pop, oldies and classical to tango, new age, romantic latin and ambient music, here she is. My review: 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. - 3/9/2008 - Private celebration - Pittsburgh, PA - Gig ID#: 368965
Pianist Claudia was hired for this wedding in Ohio, although there are many piano players closer to them  in Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, Akron (OH). Nevertheless, she traveled from Pennsylvania, and this is what the bride and groom wrote to her: “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. - 4/5/2008 - Wedding - Hudson, OH - Gig ID#: 326668
I am an event planner, and this is not the first party that I hire this great piano player. Here’s what this client said after his wedding in Pittsburgh (PA): "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.- 06/07/2008 - Wedding - Pittsburgh, PA - Gig ID#: 409115
