“I have had the pleasure of working with Gabriele for some time now and can highly recommend her as an individual and as a musician/entertainer. Gabriele has a lovely nature that responds beautifully to the elderly clients she plays for.  She is also a very talented lady and her choice of music and performance are excellent and appropriate to all levels of function. You will be very fortunate to have Gabriele visit!”
