… from private event hosts in NYC:

“It has been a true pleasure hosting Mia at the piano in my apartment over the years for recitals and parties. While trained as a classical pianist, she embraces the American Songbook with an ear to sophisticated jazz phrasing and a sensitive touch on the keys. From Gershwin and Porter to Rodgers and Hart, her playing captivates everyone in the room and makes for an unforgettable evening. She is remarkably talented and thoroughly enjoys sharing her gift with others.”

“With her grace and musicality, Mia turned our dinner party into something far more– an intimate evening among close friends, where jazz standards and songs from the American Songbook like Skating in Central Park and What Kind of Fool Am I stirred the values and memories we all hold true.”

“It was a pleasure working with Mia. She delivered a custom-made program, drawn from the American Songbook, that elicited comments on her beautiful playing.”

… from listeners:

“Both your music and anecdotes are soothing and heartwarming, and it is such a pleasure to watch someone as talented and passionate as you give those deep and vibrant interpretations, making it look easy, while highlighting the complexity and nuances of every tune.”

“Bravo, your style reminds me a little of Miles because of the beautiful way you lay down the harmony and the sophisticated and delicate way you play the melody.”

“I’ve heard jazz tunes most of my life, but for some reason your playing is just so different! Clean, vibrant and hopeful.”

“Fantastic harmonic choices and beautiful touch!”

“Utterly spellbinding piano playing… I love it.”
