A pianist, a piano, roots and style …

your event
An original alternative for a background orchestra
You were thinking of an orchestra for you event, but the space needed, the volume and the budget this implies, have made you change your mind.
The concept is an ideal alternative for the musical part of your event: stylish, cosmopolitan and refined.
The repertoire and the intensity of the music will be adapted to the different phases of the event: free style during the cocktail, lounge and cosmopolitan during dinner (where the musician can take you for a musical visit of the places of birth of your guests) and à la carte at the end of the evening (if you can provide a calmer corner, where the guests can relax whilst listening to the music they requested from the pianist).
First of all, there is the encounter of Marc Lerchs and a grand piano, such as a Steinway, Bösendorfer, Bechstein or Fazzioli…
What follows next is a matter of style, feeling and talent to add the right musical emotions to the ambiance of the moment.
The internationally mixed background music always fits perfectly within the context of the moment and is brought with the right intensity for the event.
Whilst the guests walk around or enjoy their meal, the notes create the desired musical decoration.
Each encounter is different and brings along its own challenges and seductions.
- What is the mood of the musician?
- Which character has the piano?
- In what tone does the piano sound best today?
- Which repertoire suits best for the location and the occasion?
- From which continents, countries or regions are the guests originally?
An encounter, as well, of a mixed audience and an attentive musician.
The guests are present. Everyone hears, some listen.
And sometimes, upon the tones of a certain melody, with souvenirs attached, smiles are exchanged, and add to the magic of the moment.
Which melodies, chosen from the oeuvre shared by mankind, are those that will touch and create the emotion or joy, necessary for the success of each event?
