Holiday parties cluster into a few weeks, and almost everyone wants the same evenings: the first three Fridays and Saturdays of December. Event marketplaces show Las Vegas classical pianists being booked about ten weeks ahead, which puts the decision for a mid-December party in October. Once the venue and the date are settled, hold the musician too.
Most holiday evenings I play are a mixture: light classical through arrivals and dinner — Tchaikovsky is always welcome in December — with seasonal songs and carols arranged for solo piano. Carols and holiday songs are played by request, prepared in advance, alongside the classical favourites.
A fine acoustic piano is my ideal setting, and many Las Vegas homes, restaurants and private rooms have one. If yours does not, tell me early and we will agree the best arrangement together. Two hours is the minimum, with travel and breaks included. For a party at home, a tuning a few days before is the best thing a host can do for the music.
