Testimonials
"Lena brought magic to our summer birthday party in our garden. On a rainy autumn evening amazingly she did just the same as she played from our conservatory whilst the party drank champagne. She plays with a natural grace indicative of her personality”

A big thank you for the beauty of your music!”
