Here is what one of Fred’s Clients had to say:
“Fred was absolutely wonderful. His beautiful playing and his elegance were a wonderful musical interlude and pause at the midpoint of our son and his wife’s wedding reception. Fred was easy to work with for arranging the event and accommodating our musical preferences. He is an expert musician, and we were so happy that he was here.” — Marianna G
