More and more people are venturing out, getting together and enjoying the company of each other.
Garden Parties, High Tea, House Parties, Backyard Barbecue. Formal or casual, the essential is bringing people together.
Make your next party a Wine Dinner or a Dinner Dance with Wine. This event can be done indoors or outdoors in your backyard.
How is a Wine Dinner conducted?
See how a Dinner Dance Party progress through the evening.
Should I have a Pianist? Live Band? Or, DJ? (or all three :-)
Before talking about music selections…

I have been enjoying the rain and have watched Mother Nature do what Mother Nature naturally does; she has been very busy.
Everyday “The Great Outdoors” is getting greater. Mother Nature invites, “Come out and play.”
Creating occasions that bring people together is natural. I look forward talking with you and hearing your ideas for entertaining your guests.

Please watch this video.
It will be plain to see that we had fun performing at the Los Verdes Golf Course bridal show in Palos Verdes.
If you like an ocean view and want to take sunset pictures, this is the location.
We met creative couples with great ideas who were excited about planing their special day.

It is amazing the infinite variety of music possible with solo piano. As a pianist the keyboard is like an orchestra at my fingertips; I can play just about play anything.
Any melody, any song, any Christmas Carol, even “Happy Birthday” can be found somewhere on the piano keyboard.
The piano can play and sustain many notes at one time. So melody and harmony and rhythm are played by this single instrument.
With piano it is possible for a single performer to entertain hundreds of people.
Out doors or in locations where an acoustic piano is not available. It is easy to bring a keyboard and small amplification.
Talking about music with another starts an adventure of discovery.
Adding your favorite instruments to piano expands the variety of music possible exponentially.

Elegant Music started with Sheila and Eric Zimmermann performing Flute and Piano music for weddings.
At the request of listeners Violin and Cello was added to create a Quartet.
Throughout the years have been writing music arrangements for this ensemble at the request of Brides and their families planning music. As a result this ensemble has a large repertoire.
Harp was added to this quartet to create the Elegant Music Quintet.
