Boris Alexeev, pianist

My 89 year old mother had just passed away. She was a woman who loved music, specifically show tunes and Sinatra. I wanted to create a celebration of life for her that included many of her favorite songs, including I’ll never walk alone, somewhere over the rainbow, Camelot, fly me to the moon, and more. Boris was amazing. He and his partner delivered a beautiful performance that provided just the right balance between entertainment and tribute to a woman to whom music was her soul’s delight. He is a gifted pianist and eager to delight. I contacted him on Tuesday and he was prepared and delivered a knockout show on Saturday. do not hesitate to book Boris for any event but also consider him to help you celebrate the life of someone you love. thank you, Boris

His piano playing was absolutely magnificent.
Incredibly talented. Hope to be able to do again.

Boris did a great job of providing Broadway music for our Family Night event. Boris was very professional and provided great music.

We got married December 16, 2023. We hired Boris to play during our ceremony and cocktail hour. We were looking for someone who was knowledgeable on playing rock covers and he was able to learn the songs that we wanted. They sounded amazing. I am so impressed by his professionalism and skill. I highly recommend Boris. Truly an amazing pianist.

Boris was an absolute pleasure. His playlist was out of this world! We gave him a few requests and he knew them all. I could listen to him play all day long. He showed up on time with his keyboard and was so polite. I would definitely recommend him...you won't be disappointed!

Mr. Krivoshein played the piano beautifully, including music by classical (European) composers, hymns (American), and wove into the background mix some unknown but familiar pretty tunes. He arrived early to set up and began playing early: Such a good deed! He readily accepted requests for music from anybody in our sad crowd of 70 who had gathered at the funeral home to say goodbye to our elderly loved one. Mr. Krivoshein used a small computer screen, propped up on the piano music rack, to search for and to play by sight obscure hymns. He played perfectly with great feeling and a soft touch. We felt surrounded by loving music as we talked, talked, talked with each other about our recently lost loved one. Mr Krivoshein's work was professional; he was kind and polite. We would hire him again, if he's available, for other musical events!

I am thrilled to share my heartfelt appreciation for the remarkable talents of Boris, who graced our special day with a fantastic musical performance.

With less than a month before the wedding, we had a particular selection of songs in mind that traditionally trained pianists do not commonly play. Boris assured us he could learn and perform these pieces despite the tight timeframe. When the big day finally arrived, we were utterly blown away by his performance. The music resonated with our hearts, creating an atmosphere we only imagined.

Boris' ability to learn and infuse the music with such emotion and passion was awe-inspiring. He also worked with our officiant on music queues and coordination with our day of, underscoring his professionalism. They brought our chosen songs to life in a way that surpassed our and our guests' wildest expectations.

If you're searching for a wedding pianist who goes above and beyond to make your day exceptional, then Boris is the one to choose. His ability to learn and perform our selected music in such a short time frame is a testament to their dedication and talent. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect addition to our wedding. Thank you, Boris, for making our day even more magical.

Boris played at our wedding reception cocktail hour. It was a great experience. From the start Boris was quick to respond to our questions and very collaborative in his approach and preparation. On the day of our wedding he was prompt and prepared. We received numerous positive comments. We would recommend Boris to anyone that was hosting an event.

Boris did a great job for our wedding cocktail hour

Our guests were thrilled with Boris's playing; and he was courteous, well dressed, prompt, and extremely talented with the piano.

Our guests were mesmerized by his piano play

Boris has performed at several private parties for us and we have also used him as a collaborative artist with a small ensemble and vocalist. Classically trained, he is a phenomenal pianist who can play all genres of music with impressive technique and musical artistry. He is personable, easy to work with and reliable. I would highly recommend Boris if you need any type of professional pianist.

Borus played for our family on Christmas. He was very prompt, very flexible, and a lovely pianist. He even learned a new song for the occasion that is important to our family. We would highly recommend him, and will utilize him again.

From start to finish, Boris was like an instant friend to work with in deciding on his Program for our 50th Anniversary party in our home. He played some pleasant background music while our guests finished dinner and then he performed for an hour. We were so privileged to have him sit at my baby grand and astound us with his musical talent, from Chopin to Beethoven to Tschaikovsky to Gershwin. It was an evening we will never forget. What a career he's going to have.

Boris was amazing! He was very responsive, gave us a documented selection of covers in addition to the option of choosing our own. He was professional, punctual and added a nice element to our event!

We booked Mr. Krivoshein for a holiday party at the Racine Yacht Club and I couldn't have been more impressed. His music provided a perfect atmosphere for our event and his friendly and professional attitude made him a hit with our members. His talent was apparent and his variety was extensive, I received complements for days about the music at the event. I will absolutely be booking him again in the future!

We just couldn’t stop dancing. Boris knows every song you’d ask for! He played our ceremony and we asked him to stay and play for cocktail party and it was just awesome! We were dancing and singing... the best time in my life! Highly recommended!
