Barbara played at our business event that we held in London. She was very professional from the time of booking to the performance itself. We were all impressed by her skills as she not only played the well-known pop tunes but also some incredible classical pieces in a virtuoso-like manner! Absolutely amazing, can't thank you enough Barbara!

Barbara played on our wedding ceremony last week. We were so moved by her music and the guests enjoyed her performance very much. She is professional and it was a pleasure to work with her. She was helpful with repertoire suggestions and also played a song we have chosen brilliantly. Many thanks Barbara!
