I and my guests absolutely loved having Tavi play a range of classical guitar repertoire for our event. His technical skill shines through his seemingly effortless performance, and he emanates good vibes and great musicianship. It was wonderful to have such a seasoned performer light up the space and pique everyone's attention. It's not often you get to hear live classical guitar, so this was a special treat that everyone enjoyed!
Tavi is so very talented and was wonderful. He was communicative in making a plan. He arrived dressed handsomely and was early to set up and start timely. Tavi played for arrivals at my Mothers Celebration of Life. We felt so lucky to have such an incredible musician and he did not disappoint! Beautiful beautiful music~ We would absolutely hire Tavi again.
