I am a versatile piano player that has been playing for +20 years. I can play cover versions of any songs you like, even if it's not a piano-version song.
My experience in playing solo and building duos or trios with singers or instrumental music ensembles allows for a more personalized and tailored music experience. We can play special requests. I have a repertoire of 700+ songs, so you can trust the wide range of musical tastes and preferences. I focus on providing a high quality music experience.
I work with extremely talented singers, violin, cello, guitar (electric and acoustic) and drum players. I can build up a duo, trio, or band with your favorite repertoire.
My Church hired Georgy and her husband to perform at our fundraising event and it was a very good experience. She was professional, very helpful and accommodating and even was able to perform all my chosen songs with only a few days notice.
The performance itself was awesome and ver aesthetic. And several of the guests started singing along. We really enjoyed having Georgy a part of our special event!
Georgy came in today and played piano for a group of senior women at an independent care facility for our Mothers Day event. She is AMAZING!!! The songs she played were so beautiful. Everyone commented on how talented and awesome she was. I highly recommend her to anyone. She's professional to deal with and showed up on time.
Thanks again Georgy for coming in! You are wonderful. We really enjoyed listening to you play.
I had the pleasure of hiring Georgy for a recent corporate event, and I must say she provided an amazing experience for all our guests. Her talent was simply exceptional, and the way she played the piano was truly mesmerizing.
One thing that really stood out was her repertoire - she played a great mix of oldie classics, rock, and pop songs, catering to a wide range of musical tastes.
Her ability to personalize the repertoire for our event really added a special touch, and our guests were blown away by her performance.
Georgy is an exceptional pianist who helped make our family event last summer truly unforgettable. From the moment she began playing, we were transported to a world of beautiful melodies and harmonies that created a warm and inviting atmosphere for everyone. Her song selection was spot on, ranging from classical pieces to modern tunes, and each one was delivered with impeccable skill and emotion.
Georgy's talent on the piano is truly remarkable, and she has a rare ability to connect with her audience through her music. Georgy had us captivated from start to finish.
She was also a pleasure to work with, professional and punctual in all her interactions with us. She clearly takes pride in her craft and went above and beyond to ensure that our event was a success.
Overall, I can't recommend Georgy highly enough. If you're looking for a talented and dedicated pianist to help create the perfect ambiance for your event, you won't find anyone better than Georgy. Thank you for making our event so special, Georgy!
I recently had the pleasure of hiring Georgy, a talented pianist, to perform at a party I hosted, and I must say, it was an absolute delight. From the moment she began playing, she captivated the entire audience with her musical prowess and charismatic presence.
Not only was she incredibly professional and punctual, but she also brought a sense of joy and fun to the event that truly made it memorable. Her repertoire was vast and varied, spanning across different genres and styles, and she effortlessly navigated each piece with skill and grace.
Overall, I couldn't have been more impressed with my Georgy's piano performance, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented musician to elevate their event. Her passion and talent truly shine through in her music, and I look forward to hearing her play again in the future.
I hired the piano and guitar duo for a party I hosted on Bowen Island. They were both very professional, they have a broad repertoire of songs and sounded amazing! It was a breeze to work with them. Would totally recommend!
She played the piano in a small private event I organized. She played through the whole event and was so good that people were clapping between songs. She played beautiful instrumental versions of pop and even classic rock songs.
You know, not always your parents turn 40 years of marriage, right? So for that reason, my family and I planned something special. We were looking for many places and different musicians, and there is where we found Georgy Morales.
She made our small gathering become a unique event by playing all of my parent's wedding/favourite songs.
I highly recommend her, as she could play almost every song you could request; my family called her the "human Jukebox."
Thank you, Georgy, for doing what you are doing, and I can't wait to hire you again.
I hired her for my sister's baby shower last June in Burnaby and she played for about 2 hours while we had lunch. The music definitely gave a beautiful vibe to the event! She brought her keyboard and her audio equipment, so we didn't have to rent or worry about these additional hassles which was GREAT!
Georgina played a mix of classical and popular music on piano that fit the atmosphere perfectly. Very easy to work with. I'll hope to hire her again soon.
