Classical Pianists for Hire Near Me

On average, a classical pianist costs $200-$400. The exact price will vary depending on your location, the length of the performance, and the pianist’s experience level. Professional piano players who are highly skilled with a large repertoire of classical songs may charge a bit more.

Classical music performed by a professional pianist can create a beautiful and elegant ambiance at all types of events. They can tickle the ivories for your wedding ceremony or cocktail hour, provide sophisticated background music at a corporate event, or create an enchanted soundtrack at a tea party or holiday celebration.

Classical pianists are often booked for one hour but are usually able to accommodate any event length. Whether it’s a short and sweet serenade or a marathon of melodies, they can create the perfect playlist for your special occasion. Just keep in mind if you book a pianist for more than an hour, you should plan for them to take short breaks every 30-45 minutes.

While the pianist may specialize in classical music, many have a vast repertoire of songs to be able to accommodate requests for other styles of music, including jazz, pop, and even rock. If given enough notice, they may even surprise you with a classical rendition of your favorite Taylor Swift song.

If your venue has a grand piano or upright piano on hand, the pianist may choose to use it. Just be sure that it’s properly tuned in advance of the event. However, your pianist can often bring a portable keyboard if no piano is available.
