Raziel Gonzalez has a Bachelor's degree from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and was awarded a full scholarship to study at the Akademie Fur Tonkunst in Darmstadt, Germany with Tilman Hoppstock. He has performed throughout the country and taught for the last 15 years. Raziel performs a wide range of classical standards from the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras and is able to learn select styles and pieces based on the event. He's available for weddings, private events, and much more.
I was planning a memorial service for my late husband and decided I wanted to hire a classical guitarist for the event, specifically one who could perform both Baroque pieces and perhaps something lively and Brazilian. I also had a particular piece by Handel in mind, to be performed during the service. I chose Raziel because of the video on his website in which he described his approach to teaching and because of the rave reviews he received from his students. I liked the fact that he was an educator and figured he would be patient, professional and sensitive to my needs.
After several back-and-forth conversations, we settled on a playlist. He was always quite happy to accommodate my requests and suggestions. He even agreed to learn the Handel piece, something not in his repertoire, specifically for the event. I was also impressed that, several days before the service, he paid a visit to the church where it was to be held to check out the facilities, something I had not asked him to do but which I greatly appreciated. The staff there found him to be polite and charming.
All the attendees spoke about how particularly beautiful the service was. One of the guests, a classical guitarist himself, spoke highly of Raziel's musical abilities. For me, the his musical contributions were the high-point of the afternoon. Raziel played with great musical sensitivity and was a graceful, dignified presence during the service. At the end, he thanked me, saying it had been an honor for him to perform at such a moving event.
