testimonials

I recently had the pleasure of being entertained by Cristian as he performed for a charity event that I was organizing.
He was tasked with welcoming the guests with his musical mastery, while setting the stage for a magical evening. He did exactly that, reading the crowd as it built in the ballroom, and adjusting between classical, to jazz and light pop, creating a mood that was perfectly conducive to the environment. Watching him play is a treat! His elegance and class on stage is a part of his overall appeal and his hands must be blessed from above! 
Cristian is a wonderful addition to the Nagoya music scene and personally, I can't wait to see him perform again.
