Review received on 9-13-2017 at 1:58 pm (PDT) It was a hit!
Review received on 9-4-2017 at 4:12 pm (PDT) My husband and I struggled to hold back our tears when we heard our song being played as we walked down the aisle. We couldn't be happier with the professionalism and ability to adapt to our Persian ceremony. I would absolutely recommend The Internationals a million times over!

Review received on 4-24-2017 at 10:17 am (PDT) My proposal could not have gone any better than it did. Arkady was very professional and prepared thoroughly for the day. Both, him and Henry, communicated with me throughout the process to make sure that plans were perfect and that there would be no hiccups when my fiancé arrived for the proposal. The music was beautiful and Arkady mixed in my requests with some of his classics and the collaboration worked FLAWLESSLY. I was very impressed with these guys and will seek them out for future services. GREAT JOB GUYS!

Hello The Internationals,
Review received on 12-26-2016 at 9:09 am (PDT) The Musical Christmas melodies played were a perfect touch to Our dinner party. Professional, talented, and the repertoire of music selections beyond my expectations. He even played my grandfathers violin that had not been played in years and was used in silent films. Thank you for making the event very memorable !
Hello The Internationals,
Review received on 11-21-2016 at 11:36 am (PDT) The two piece band (accordionist and violinist) were a nice addition to our line up of entertainment. They performed during the cocktail hour and during dinner. The whole process was easy. I signed a contract with a small deposit a few months before. They called to confirm two weeks before. They arrived an hour before their start time to set-up. When they played, they were good. They music was enjoyable. It was the perfect addition to the dancing music that followed dinner. I would hire them again.
Review received on 11-16-2016 at 6:04 pm (PDT) Henry worked with me late into the night to book an accordion player and singer for my son's burial. Arkady and Kyle had only two days notice but performed the song, "Losing You" beautifully. It was a wonderful tribute to my son and was a nice moment during an extremely difficult time. We were also much later to cemetery than I thought we would be, but they were both very understanding. Thank you.

| The Internationals played beautifully during my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. The musicians got sheet music to match the music I wanted perfectly. At the rehearsal, we practiced the processional along to a youtube recording of the song. At the wedding, they sounded just like the recording, so everything went very smoothly! We have received many compliments on the musicians. Henry and I communicated for months, reviewing which instruments to use for the ceremony, which songs to play, etc. I was impressed Henry actually came to my ceremony to ensure everything went as planned! |

| We were very pleased with the professional performance on keyboard and accordion by Mikhail Antoshin. He was a very pleasant man and very talented. He even came over to the table and sat in front of my 95 year old mother, whose birthday it was, and sang a song to her while playing the accordion. We would hire him again for an event. The only thing I wish is that he had played the accordion more, but we didn't ask him to or he probably would have. We highly recommend hiring Mikhail for your party. |

Thank you for recommending Michael (accordionist) for my Dad's 65th Birthday Party. He arrived early, warmed up, and played some excellent music. My dad was up and dancing and soon the rest of the party guests joined in even little kids formed a circle. For one person that is quite a feat. Excellent experience with booking and communication as well. Definitely would recommend!

| We hired Mikhail from the Internationals to play the accordion for our father's 87th birthday party. What a terrific performance. He was punctual, professional and talented. It was apparent Mikhail had prepared for the party. He had anecdotes and facts about the music he played. The hour and a half flew by! He really set the tone of the party and everyone throughly enjoyed his performance. Setting the date and getting the contract together was a breeze as well, thanks to Henry. He responded quickly and was also very professional. We appreciate your group and would recommend these musicians to anyone looking to add a little fun to a party. |

The musicians (cello, violin, piano) were on-time (early, actually), played beautifully, looked professional, and were polite. They were reasonably priced as well. Highly recommended.

Client Review
I can't say enough about what a fantastically talented and professional group The Internationals are. I hired their violinist and double bassist to play my girlfriend's (now fiance) and my favorite song as I proposed to her. Between almost 100 emails back and forth, Henry and I were able to set everything up perfectly, even though I was organizing the event from Oregon to take place in Chicago. Everything went 100% smoothly. The music was beautiful and the musicians were dressed to the hilt. If you need to hire one or more musicians for any event, I would absolutely recommend The Internationals without a doubt. I would hire The Internationals again in a heartbeat! :)

Great performers, very professional and affordable
I had a violinist and a cellist play at my wedding and they
were very professional. They had a big repertoire of songs and even
played some that I requested.
Furthermore, there was no problem from the performers playing at out
ceremony outside. They then traveled to the reception inside and did a
great job and the throughout the 4 hours they pl ayed at our cocktail
hour and dinner in which they sounded great and were very professional.
I would choose to have performers from the Internationals play for me
anytime. The best thing was that we did not have to stress out about the
music we told them what we wanted and they pulled it off flawlessly.

Yes we thought he was very very very good!
Arkady came early to check out venue and where he would be playing.
He arrived on time and set up quickly. My family really enjoyed his accordion music. He had a wide array of songs he played (ex: Italian, polish, russian, german, etc.).
This was for my in-laws 50th Anniversary luncheon and everyone was delighted with the background music. It was a hot day and we were in yard; he came inside to the kitchen and stood in doorway and was outside as well. He was able to move around with people and the volume of the instrument was not over powering. People were able to mingle right next to him and still hear each other.
The cost of the event was not expensive for the great joy he brought to the occasion. People don't always think accordion music. But it was delightful and spirit filled/giddy event to all!
My 80 year old Dad and 52 year old brother and 81 year old mom and 75+ old in laws were dancing on the porch and in the yard....my dad twirled me around....... I have it on video....it was hysterical and one of those events that is now memorialized in everyone's brains because of the added touch of this timeless music. Brought everyone together. Thank you so much!

Igor was amazing! He showed up early, was professional and polite, and played beautifully. I also received plenty of communication throughout the planning process, making things very stress-free. We received so many compliments about how beautiful the wedding music was.

Great accordion player!
Arkady came out and played the accordion for our wedding during dinner/drinks and did a fantastic job. I got a lot of great feedback from our guest regarding how much they enjoyed the music. If you're looking for an accordion player, he's the guy to go with. Thanks again!

Entertainment provided for 50th Anniversary celebration.
I invited "Internationals" to provide musical entertainment for my parents' 50th anniversary surprise celebration. Musicians were very professional, provided great music, were prompt and delivered their service at the highest level. They went far and beyond expectations. Would definitely recommend them for an event.

Gennady,
Our Marketing Coordinator, Kate Buckson, had this to say " They
were excellent to work with, very understanding and well prepared. The
music was wonderful! The audience loved it! They were clapping and
singing along. The whole ambiance of the performance was really
fantastic with the costumes and dancing and fun personalities of the
performers. Everyone who attended had a great time."
Sounds like it was a success!

Hi Gennady,
We were very pleased with the program for our Fish Boil. Ladies were
dancing, gentlemen were sitting close listening, we sang with him as he
played "Happy Birthday" and "Always," he was pleasant and professional
and a very accomplished musician. Thank You!
Thank you for referring him to us. We are please to give him a very high recommendation.

This is a recommendation letter for a group of musicians “The Internationals”.
The Internationals has performed at the location of the International Business Club on December 6, 2008 during the Concert “Fall in St. Petersburg”.
Their excellent performance accompanied with a great contact with the audience made the concert a unique and extraordinaire cultural event for the members of the IBC.
I would recommend “The Internationals” for any type of gathering as a great and vivid entertainers.
