To whom it may concern,

       Lakambini Ramos recently played an all Chopin recital at St. Malachy's - The Actors' Chapel in New York City. The event marked the inaugural performance on our new 9' Steinway concert grand and Ms. Ramos played beautifully. Only a finely seasoned musician such as Ms. Ramos could have displayed such command over the instrument within the space. Her understanding of the power of its sound and subtlety of its action was masterful, as was her program.

       Knowing that her audience would consist of pianophiles and less musically educated people alike, she chose repertoire that appealed to the sophisticated listener as well as the newcomer. Lyrical, powerful, pensive, joyful and sparkling, her renditions of Chopin ETUDES, NOCTURNE, BALLADE, FANTAISIE, PRELUDE, SCHERZO, WALTZES, TARANTELLA and POLONAISE were beautifully rounded and caringly thought out. Ms. Ramos plays with a warmth and depth of sound rarely found in pianists today. She understands the music that she plays and gives it to her audience with a gentle grace that leaves them smiling and excited for the next time they can hear her.

       Ms. Ramos has a loyal following willing to travel a considerable distance to hear her in recital. You can't blame them because she is a treat to hear. She is also a pleasure to work with. Dependable, knowlegeable, flexible and easy going, she would be an asset to any Presenter's lineup. I highly recommend Lakambini Ramos for any music series. She's an outstanding musician and your audiences will love her.
