I usually like to take suggestions on what to play for the event. If there are no suggestions, I would typically play classical music ranging from Bach up to Debussy.
I look up to pianists like Horowitz, Richter, and Rubenstein when it comes to musical interpretation and performance.
Acoustic piano preferred, but electric keyboard is fine
