Watch
The show
A wide repertoire and a willingness to learn something new for the occasion. If there's a piece that belongs at your event and it isn't already in Rafa's book, ask and he'll work it up. The attitude is warm and easy, which is worth as much as the playing when a performer is in the room for several hours.
On the day
If the venue has a piano, upright, baby grand or grand, Rafa will play it. If not, he arrives with a digital piano and PA of his own. Outdoor ceremonies and garden receptions are covered too, since he can bring his own power supply for playing away from a socket.
