Raymond played background music on guitar as guests were arriving for the State of the City address and as guests were eating at the Cade Museum on Feb 14th 2023. (https://youtu.be/yCNk6Q2GNcA). He was responsive, on time, dressed for the occasion and prepared. He was self sufficient with his own speaker system and was happy to allow us to plug into it for our live stream. To top it off, he is talented in his craft and knew exactly what to play for our event. Very glad we selected him as a musician.
Raymond played at our wedding ceremony and was fantastic. He met with us in advance to play the songs he had planned and to practice the timing. He arrived early on the day and played beautifully. Very professional and overall lovely to work with. Highly recommend!
Raymond was a pleasure to work with. Not only is he talented, but he was patient enough to help me make our small in-home event a success. He understood the crowd that attended was not well versed in classical guitar, so he spent the extra time to explain each piece to us. He also was happy to mingle with guests and answer questions, which was an added bonus! It was a real pleasure to have him attend our event and become a part of our family. His selection of music was perfect, and his performance was nothing less than magical. Without knowing, he even managed to play a few of my favorite cello concerto's! Need a classical guitarist? Don't hesitate - call Raymond. And be sure to ask if he can stay for dinner, because it's worth the conversation!
Photos from this event
Raymond was a delight. He was very sensitive to the gravity of our Celebration of Life, and his playing was a wonderful accompaniment to the event.
I have had the opportunity to hear the beautiful music of Raymond Lohengrin.
His command of the Classical Guitar and choice of musical compositions are breathtaking and delivered with passion and reverence. He chooses compositions that are heartfelt, musically interesting and transport the listener emotionally and spiritually. His music is ideal for weddings, and background music for special occasions. I recommend him highly for your event!
