I was in a pinch and needed a pianist in less than 24 hours for an event. Vince was amazing, and everything we could've wanted in a pianist... just a wide repertoire, and much appreciated.

Everything was perfect from the songs to the timeline and easy it was to communicate about songs

We were absolutely thrilled that we hired ‘Pianist on Call’ for our event! Vince’s professionalism was top-notch, and his musical talent on the piano was truly remarkable. Everyone was mesmerized by the superb piano player at the keys and his perfectly executed music. The music he played enhanced the classy ambiance we wanted, and his kindness and warm demeanor made the experience even more enjoyable. We are extremely grateful he played for us and couldn't have asked for a better musician to enhance our event. Highly recommended!
I’d hire Vince again in a heart beat.

We had a Great Gatsby themed reception at the Langham and had Pianist on Call perform. Our attendees had a great time and we would definitely have him back at a future event.

Vincent was very cordial and professional an wow! He can play! My dad has Parkinson and is unable to play the piano which was very soothing for him. Vincent filled the house with beautiful piano notes and enjoyed immensely. I would highly recommend. This was a big highlight for my parents.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend the event, but everyone I heard from said that he was wonderful! We would definitely book him again :-)

Have had Vince repeatedly at our home and he is a such a terrific pianist. He is so adaptable to anything which we need performed. It was Christmas time this past visit and he kept the carols and holidays tunes flowing seamlessly. He is ever so responsive to any requests. So enjoy the festive tunes he brings to our home whenever he comes to play. A lovely gentleman as well.

Dear Vince Torbey,
On behalf of our family, we would like to thank you for your service and making our son’s wedding at the Mission Inn Hotel and Spa a memorable one. It was beautiful and everything went beyond our expectation. Sincerely,
Organist
Vince was a very nice man who did a wonderful job for me. I had a broker twilight open, and he mad all the difference. Highly recommend if you have a piano in your home have him come to your next event and play for you. Or just for you and your honey to dance the night away. Excellent.

We contracted Mr. Vince Torney to play for 2 hours at our Doctor's Day Event. He was very professional, paid very well and was very intertaining. We hope to use him again in the future.
Pianist
Vince is fantastic. I first heard him play at a party about 10 years ago. When I found out he was available, I knew immediately my husband's 70th birthday party would be a fantastic success. He arrived early, and was ready to play as soon as the doors opened. The music he selected was perfect for the occasion - dinner for 50 people. Vince provided backup music for our guest singer and, together, they performed to great numbers enjoyed by all! Thank you Vince, you exceed my highest expecations and I will always be grateful you were able to join us for such a fun event!
Keyboard Player
Vince Torbey is just great, great, great. He is so professional and quite frankly I was pleasantly surprised. He played well with my singer and she was also impressed. He is excellent. His prices are very reasonable and he adjust to any music you wish played. We will definetly call him back to any of our events. Whomever gets Vince as a pianist or organist is a very fortunate person. Thanks again for such a fantastic find.
