Readers at Minnesota Bride Magazine voted for the wedding professionals they considered to be the Best.  

The results were tallied and Sharon Planer was delighted to have been voted the recipient for 'Best of 2017' Ceremony music category!

I appreciate the wedding couples, event professionals and people that experienced my piano music services and considered me worthy of their vote at Minnesota Bride Magazine.  It has been my passion to get to know each wedding couple that hires me and do my best to fulfill their vision for the music on their wedding day.  It makes me happy to know that so many of my wedding couples were pleased with my music! 

There are many wonderful wedding musicians in the Twin Cities including the other two finalists the Loring String Quartet and the Lake Minnetonka String Quartet.

The Birthday Lady's favorite music was from the Threepenny Opera. 

The family member that hired me to play piano music for this special 90th Birthday Party asked me to be sure and include the music from the Threepenny Opera as well as more opera music and also songs of George Gershwin and Hoagy Carmichael.

Well, the Gershwin and Carmichael music was easy enough to put together and I was able to add some other opera music into the mix, but I needed help finding piano music from the Threepenny Opera. "Mack the Knife' was the only song I had in my piano repertoire.

So I headed to my favorite resource, the Minneapolis Central Library-3rd floor Music Department!

When I visit the library looking for something in particular, I often come away with a lot more than I anticipated! I found a lovely publication of the music of Kurt Weill which included a number of his songs from the Threepenny Opera. I knew the Birthday Lady was going to love this! Then I found a fantastic book with songs of Hoagy Carmichael including quite a few new songs that I could add to my repertoire. I went home that afternoon very happy with my 'finds'!

The Birthday Lady loved my music and so did the guests! I went home from the party happy knowing that I had helped make the party special with my piano music.
