Mr. Huff played for my sister’s funeral. She was a pianist and an accomplished musician so expectations were high. He was very professional, well prepared and was easy to communicate with during the planning process and on the day of the event. My sister had played for several funerals, weddings and in church services of those sitting in the audience and she loved to attend symphony performances in KC. I told him that I would like a concert feel and he provided it. She would have loved it! I would highly recommend Mr Huff for an event and I would hire him again.
