Had the pleasure of hearing Elena at a private party. She was fabulous and really elevated the event. Certainly would hire her if having a special day.
Elena provided the music for our wedding in Sidney on June 8/24. She guided us in the selection of cello music and was sensitive to our preferences.
The cello made for a perfect background for our seaside wedding.
There is a unique experience when listening to a live solo performance, and more so that of a deep and soulful sound of a cello. It approximates human expression at its most meaningful and expressive voice.
Elena is a true and immersed practitioner, and there are no words that can adequately convey the impact of her performance. It simply has to be experienced.
The cello, particularly when played as a singular instrument, is unforgiving, and in Elena, we have found a true master.
We engaged Elena to play at my mother's 90th birthday party. Her beautiful music added a whole other dimension to the event, and many people approached me afterward expressing their appreciation for her music. My mother, in particular, was thrilled to have Elena play for us, as she is a long-time subscriber to both the Victoria Symphony and Pacific Opera Victoria. Elena's choice of music for the event was perfect, and we are very grateful that she helped make this special birthday even more special.
I had the chance to hear Elena during a Christmas performance for our class and I was enchanted and dazzled. She manages to reach our soul through the variety of her repertoire and the finesse with which she plays. Simply WOW!
It was a joy to hear Elena play on four occasions. Full of soul and carefully chosen for the occasion, Elena's music is moving, evocative, and uplifting. Twice, her sublime cello elevated the spiritual level of a Reflections service at our church. At a Coronation High Tea, her music added a touch of class. Accompanied by her own piano recording, she got a resounding, standing ovation at our Crowd Pleasers Concert. A master musician, Elena's performances are not to be missed.
We have booked Elena for two holy days and a picnic in Beacon Hill Park. Her beautiful music is always perfect for the occasion. When she is performing solo the audience is spellbound. The combination of her cello with her background accompaniment provides a very complete sound. She can also provide quiet background music which is quite unifying.
