I invited Maestro Tanev to play at a birthday dinner for my wife.
He is masterful, very, very professional, and a wonderful artist.
His selection of music to play, and his absolute mastery in playing it were a ;highlight of the evening.
Nicolai Tanev has been Guitarist-in-Resdience at the Oglethorpe University Museum of Art in Atlanta for four years. He has been giving four concerts a year which he included a wide range of composers from Bach, Brahms to Brazilian to his own composiitions. He has always been well received and I can highly recommend him. He is very easy to work with and very flexible.
Hired Nicolai to perform at our Christmas Talent show for the kids. We wanted to expose them to some music that they normally would not have been exposed to. He was on time and very professional. I would definitely recommend Nicolai for laid back ambiance music such as weddings and similar events.
Nicolai provided music for the ceremony and cocktail time for an outdoor wedding at the Atlanta Botanical Garden for a client of mine. (I am a wedding planner). He is an accomplished professional, both in terms of his musicality and his communication/dealing with clients. He arrived on time and performed flawlessly. I recommend him without hesitation.
