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”
Jackie Clemants Psychotherapist

“I quite regularly go to live concerts and enjoy all kinds of music. I was especially blessed when I heard 'Amara' - I really feel the need to tell you that I have never in my life (and I am 66 years young) been as moved as I was by your music it was really very special. A big thank you for the beauty of your music!”
