Book a Local Pianist for
Your Elegant Event
Hi, I'm Petra. I'm a Southern California-based pianist specializing in upscale corporate events, private parties, and luxury weddings, whether there’s a piano on-site or not (I bring my own!).
I’ve performed at venues like Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach, Palace Hotel, Rosewood Miramar, and internationally across Europe and Hawaii—including my Carnegie Hall debut in 2024.
​
With a Doctorate in Piano Performance and years of live event experience, I create dynamic, custom medleys of pop hits, rock anthems, EDM melodies, and dance soundtracks that capture the perfect vibe for each celebration.

“Where to begin! Petra was an absolute joy to work with. She performed at our new model home reveal and added a beautiful touch of elegance, grace, and delight that added tremendous value to our event. I appreciated her thoughtfulness to ask how to dress for the occasion, her professionalism, and prep work she did beforehand. She brought wonderful energy and engaged with our guests, performed song requests, and had a smile the entire time.
