We love museums!

And museums love the music we bring to accompany French impressionism, photogenic Paris, Picasso's women and more. Imagine taking your patrons to "Paris" with a song. Imagine your audience hearing the art and seeing the song. Imagine a Gala benefit underscored with the sultry and lively sounds of Edith Piaf, Josephine Baker, and Toulouse-Lautrec's Yvette Guilbert. From Ragtime to Swing, from Classics to New Songs, Claudia's solo or ensemble concerts will transport your event to Paris and beyond.

Claudia can curate a Vocal Canvas, set a mood, and elevate the celebration to an unforgettable experience.

We have never heard such accolades from our Music for Exhibitions audience as we did last night... your performance was the best in our series. We were all transported to Paris, if just for a few hours. —Peggy McLean, Frick Museum
Claudia and Elizabeth's performance was a delight! Engaging, sparkling, and entertaining, the concert added a beautiful layer to the Picasso experience. —Celeste Fetta, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
