Christopher Schoelen - Classical Guitarist

We semi-circled around Christopher and his guitar and let him work his magic at our family event. His playing was gorgeous and well received by everyone in our small crowd of about forty people of mixed ages. The program, which I had discussed with Christopher just in the week prior to his appearance (and sent him sheet music), involved first letting him play a couple pieces of his own choosing and then performing some specific, even obscure, folk songs familiar to us from the years when my Dad would play guitar for our family. With Christopher's talent, understanding, and indispensable help, we succeeded in encouraging almost everyone at one point or another, with one song or another, to sing along. Towards the end of our time, Christopher accompanied me while I sang the John Denver song 'Perhaps Love'. My father and family were moved. We are coping with my Dad's acute Leukemia diagnosis, and this event (the capstone of a weekend) gave everyone an opportunity to come into town and spend time joyous time together. It was a gift. Christopher's support was key. He concluded with a remarkable classical piece that left us all admiring what we had the privilege to hear that afternoon. Thank you Christopher.

We booked Christopher for a "Saturday Night Out" dinner and show for our residents. I discussed the menu for the evening, a 3-course meal with Spanish influences, and he was able to tailor his music to fit the menu. We have many residents who have a background in music, both teaching and performing, and they were all very complimentary of him. Our events require a bit of personality and willingness to interact with the residents as well and Christopher handled that part equally as well. Very talented and professional. We look forward to hosting him again in the future.

Christopher played at our Christmas party and it was great! I had so many people tell me they really enjoyed it. We appreciated that he traveled so far also!

Christopher was an excellent addition to our "Night in Spain " Dinner at Page House Bed & Breakfast in Dublin, Georgia! Our guests were delighted with his performance! Thank you so much! We will hire him again soon! JoAnn Simms, Owner/Innkeeper

Christopher played beautifully and was cheerful and pleasant. Excellent repertoire, sensitive interpretation.

We had a small wedding ceremony in a park, and Chris was great in creating a beautiful song program, including a special request to compose a version of one of our favorite songs. He's a very nice, professional person and very good about staying in touch and making sure all the details of the event are ironed out. I highly recommend him.
