The evening

Where the music goes

By Dr. Maria Pisarenko, DMA · concert pianist in Las Vegas · October 2026

Doors and reception — the most important half hour. Guests arrive alone or in pairs and need something to walk into. Light classical at concert level sets the tone of the whole night.
The move to the tables — a change of piece tells the room it is time to sit, without an announcement.
Dinner — quieter music under conversation, so that the table can talk.
Before the speeches — one piece played as a short performance, while the room settles. Guests stop, listen, and are ready to hear the host.
Auction or awards — short musical bridges between items, timed to the presenter.

Send me the run of show, with timings, and I plan the music to it. If the evening has a theme — a country, a decade, an honoree — the programme can be built around it.

Planning

Three questions for the venue

Is there a piano, and where is it? Many Las Vegas hotel ballrooms and private dining rooms have a grand. Its position matters: near the entrance for the reception, not behind the stage. If there is no piano, ask early whether one can be brought in.

Is the piano tuned? Ask for a tuning on the day or the day before. It is the single best investment in the music.

How long? Two hours is the minimum, with travel and breaks included in the booked time. A longer evening is simply quoted longer. A violin or cello with the piano can be arranged for larger rooms.
