About
Ray Lemond Music is a pianist for hire in Sydney, NSW.
Watch
The show
Piano, and a set pitched at whatever the evening is doing. Gentle and easy listening for a dinner, jazzier and more up-beat when the room wants lifting. It sits particularly well under a wedding reception, where music has to hold the atmosphere without competing with conversation. There's another option for corporate events after something less usual: a full concert style piano recital, played as a performance in its own right rather than background.
On the day
An acoustic piano at the venue is the preference, so it's worth checking what's already in the room before you book. For a classical recital, a grand piano on site isn't a preference, it's a requirement, and the concert programme doesn't work without one.
Performance options
Beyond solo piano, there's a jazz trio of piano, bass and drums. A saxophone player or a vocalist can join either shape if you want another voice in the mix.
What they perform
Classical, Baroque, Romantic - Chopin, Mozart etc;
Jazz - all styles, Blues, Bebop, George Shearing, Oscar Peterson styles, American songbook, Gershwin, Cole Porter etc
New Age - Einaudi and other relaxing minimalist music.
