Elena played the cello so beautifully
for my husband’s celebration of life. It was the perfect accompaniment for our prayers and poetry readings and made this send off very special. I highly recommend her!
Elena was a joy to have playing at my grand daughter’s wedding. She and her partner (violinist Louisa) braved the chill of our outdoor event with grace and beautiful music. Every piece we asked of them was skillfully rendered and their own selections added so very much to our special occasion! I give Elena, either alone or with her partner, a resounding “thumbs up!”
