Maksim played for my moms 50th birthday and he was absolutely incredible. We all loved it and the collection of songs he played was so soothing and beautiful to hear. Thank you so much Maksim! Definitely recommend!
Maksim is remarkable! He played the cello and the piano and spent time with the audience talking about the pieces. We hope to have him return soon. A true talent!
Max was wonderful. Showed up on time, and was an absolute hit. Highly Recommend .
Response from Maksim Velichkin:
Thank you, Patty!
I was very pleased with the results of working with Maksim. With a little luck you'll hear his performance as the credits role for the new movie Apostle Paul on the song "Fight The Good Fight."
Every moment with Maksim went well from our initial contact to a flawless tone-setting cello performance. I had a late request, which Maksim mastered and played with ease. His punctuality, professionalism, mild disposition and skilled cello made for the first of many memorable moments of a milestone event among family and friends. With deepest thanks to Maksim and Gigsalad for a job well done!
