How far will Ariane travel for a private performance?

Ariane is based in Cheltenham and regularly performs at private homes and events across the Cotswolds, including Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Worcestershire. Performances further afield are also welcome; please get in touch with your location and Ariane or Krista will confirm availability and any travel costs.

How long does a performance last?

Performances range from 35 minutes for the Bronze experience to a full 80 minute concert programme with interval for the Gold experience. The right length depends on your occasion and how the performance fits around the rest of your event, and this can be discussed when you enquire.

Can we choose the music?

Yes. Ariane will suggest a programme to suit the mood and style of your occasion, drawing on repertoire from composers such as Chopin, Schumann, Schubert and Grieg, and is happy to discuss particular preferences or requests in advance.

Do we need to provide a piano?

Yes, a piano at the venue is required, ideally an acoustic upright or grand in good working order. If you are unsure whether your instrument is suitable, send a photo or a few details when you enquire and Ariane will be able to advise.

How do we book to hire a pianist?

Simply get in touch using any form on this page, or by contacting either Ariane or her agent, with your preferred date, occasion, guest numbers and choice of Gifts From The Piano experience. Ariane or Krista will confirm availability and arrange the details. It is worth enquiring as early as possible, particularly for dates during busy seasons such as December.
