Laila's Dance Blew Us Away
Had Laila entertain at my daughter's Bridal Shower and she was a hit. Very professional and understanding of the time constraint. She was able to entice guests to get up and dance with her. Even the future Groom was Belly Dancing! Wonderful time! Thank you Laila and Henry for a great event.

We hired The Internationals, or rather, Michael, as the violinist for our wedding ceremony. Booking them was such an easy process and Henry, our point of contact for the gig was so kind and helpful! Michael was also very nice, he played beautifully and was open to playing whatever songs we desired. As requested he played the Bruno Mars song "Marry Me" as soon as we were pronounced husband and wife, and it was perfect :)
Thank you guys so much for making this such a good experience from start to finish!

I contacted The Internationals ahead of my 70th birthday party. I wanted some very specific music and performance. They are amazing, they make everything come true from the dreams. Henry is superb. He replies immediately, solves every difficulty and they "deliver" on time and in an excellent manner. Arkady is a most accomplished accordionist, he can play so many songs, from many different countries, beautifully. I will certainly see and best of all - hear - them again :-) Thank you so much Internationals for all you did to make my special birthday, perfect.

I am an only son amongst three sisters and suddenly my father and
sisters all had leaned on myself to come together and make plans for my
mother's funeral.
I was looking for two to three violinists on this gigsalad web page when
Henry offered me all which I had been searching for or an option of a
violinist and cellist.
Following my review of most of their videos, I chose the cellist and violinist.
In the afternoon following the catholic mass for my mother I had walked
into our church hall to see Natalia and Irene who had perfectly set
themselves up in plenty of time prior to their booked time.
They both greeted me and were ever so cordial offering their sympathy's in my loss.
I spoke to them and asked them to take breaks as I just know string
instruments can be overly tiring on the hands but I believe they refused
and they just kept the songs coming.
Here is the Most Important Feedback I Believe The Internationals Delivered On ;
Natalia and Irene played/delivered without a single flaw !
Also All of The Songs Were at the correct pitch to where everyone could
mingle and socialize without any over-powering instrument playing.
In the future I hope to always stay in contact with these wonderful people and Never would I ever hesitate to book them again!
THEY WERE TREMENDOUSLY GREAT!!!
The ladies who were serving the afternoon lunch plus all my guests who
were there to listen ( maybe 160 ) in attendance stated two things
" What Wonderful Instrumentalists and What a Tribute to your mother "
Thanks again Natalia, Irene and Henry,
Love from The Burling Family

I hosted a small Surprise Oktoberfest Birthday party for my moms birthday. I hired Mike as a surprise to my guests. We had the nicest conversation when he called to confirm the date. I could tell that he was extremely professional and also kind-hearted. He arrived 15 minutes early and set up in my living room while my guests were in the kitchen. Everyone trickled out when he started to play! It was so exciting. We danced, we laughed, we cheered. Mike played for a little over an hour, taking song requests and answering all of our curious questions. He’s a brilliant musician. I wish I could have him play at all of my parties!! 10/10 would recommend.

Musician for Memorial Service
I was referred to Henry Sergenko to assist with providing a violinist for a memorial service for my uncle who passed away the end of January 2020. My aunt wanted three specific hymns to be played at the service. Henry scheduled a violinist to perform at the memorial service which was initially scheduled for March 23, 2020, coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic shut down mandates were being enforced. Due to the pandemic outbreak the memorial service had to be re-scheduled more than once over the next 6 months until October 5, 2020. Henry and the violinist Igor Antipov was very flexible and accommodating with re-scheduling the date of the performance for the service.
The memorial service for my uncle took place on October 5, 2020. Igor played the three hymns beautifully that my aunt specifically requested as well as other pieces appropriate for this occasion.
My aunt who is 91 years old and uncle were married 68 years. The memorial service was held on the date of their wedding anniversary. He was 90 years old when he passed away. My aunt was very happy and pleased with Igor's performance at the memorial service. We look forward to a happier occasion to work with Henry and Igor again in the furture.

Henry was very responsive and easy to coordinate with. He even sent me a recording of Stan playing pomp and circumstance on the saxophone 🎷. I had been looking for a while and was not satisfied with any other artist that I had talked to. He showed up a few minutes earlier than he had said and worked with us to surprise my wife with the back yard graduation ceremony I had prepared for her. Needless to say she was more than surprised and still hasn’t stopped talking about it. Before the ceremony/party she was so distraught that covid ruined her graduation. Now she’s saying “im glad it happened this way, that was soooo much better than any graduation I have ever been to!” Stan played all the hits and even put his own twist on some and made them even better! I will be booking with the internationals again and again(my wife loves the saxophone). Definitely would recommend to anyone considering an artist at their event!!

little earlier than his playing time and I LOVED THAT! He walked around
and visited with some of my family and friends to "get a feel" of the
party! Once he started playing, everyone was joining in and clapping and
singing and dancing! My dad, the 90th birthday boy, was dancing and

I was doing an upscale Sweetest Day Party with the theme of a classy
Wild West Saloon. Since in these joints the Saloon Girls were on a
mission to keep the patrons longer in the main hall, they needed to be
very entertaining for them, so they could spend more money or gold dust
on booze, gambling, and 'soiled doves' upstairs. Henry Sergienko has
found me a perfect Saloon Gal Inna Peschanskaya. She was perfect at
'flirting' with the mail guests and doing an almost impossible balancing
act where the husbands were kept interested while their wives
considered it as an innocent playing act. She was not confused with a
slightly provocative outfit which we discussed and purchased among the
other variants. Inna was the center of the party conducting her act and
and conversing with the guests on a various topics. Everyone was giving
me the compliments for months on that hit-party, and mentioning the
actress.

Henry,
Michael was simply wonderful. He represented your
organization well. I mentioned to Michael that the Deacon is planning
to arrange for 6 events next year so I am planning to contact you again.
Thank you for providing a professional level of support for our program.

Thank you so much for your professional services. We were really
pleased with our violinist, Michael R. He was very professional and
communicated with us frequently prior to the wedding to make sure all
our needs were met. Highly recommend him. He made sure to play all the
songs we requested and even added two that were not on his list..

Phenomenal!!! Can't wait to hire again.
Michael was beyond professional. He arrived 15 minutes early, was a delight to us and the crowd and everyone enjoyed his choice in music! He read the attitude of the room and tailored that to the songs he played. 10/10 would recommend The Internationals, and Michael!

| Very please with Mike's performance and professionalism of the company. He played during our cocktail hour, and it looked very classy to my guest. Mike did a nice job playing also. They give you a list of songs that you can choose from, and you can suggest some songs to see if the pianist can play it. My pianist called me in advance (closer to the wedding date) to make sure we were on the same page, which I thought was a nice touch. |

It was a hit!
We had Arkady play the accordion at our backyard Oktoberfest party this
past weekend and he was a hit! The ambiance he created was wonderful,
he was personable and the guests loved him! He also took requests
graciously and mingled so well I forgot he wasn't a guest of ours. The
whole experience was great, easy and straightforward.

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!

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.

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.

only superlatives
I can only give superlatives:
-- Arkady (of The Internationals) has a huge repertoire in the genre requested.
-- His performance was lively, and he sounded really good.
-- He interacted with the attendees well, and he was full of smiles.
-- He was on-time and he made simple setup requests with no demands.

In my experience booking programs/performers for libraries, this may have been the easiest. The Internationals delivered on every agreement and performed wonderfully. We booked them to play outdoors and despite winds and overcast skies, they performed happily and with no incident. I am extremely satisfied and would highly recommend Mr. Sergienko and his musicians!

| 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. |

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. |

Henry was our contact person, and his communication was excellent. Anyone planning a wedding knows how important that it. 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.

Arkady was absolutely wonderful! Many people mentioned how much they enjoyed his music and presence at the opening of the reception. I really appreciated the way he interacted with our guests and moved around the ballroom so that everyone got a chance to see him in action. As requested, he played a variety of music from country and Polish. Thank you for everything, Henry! This has been such an easy and stressfree transaction.

Dear The Internationals,
Darragh G. has submitted the following client review :
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.

We loved the Internationals! We had a small backyard party to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday. The party got moved indoors due to weather. The Internationals entertained from room to room while my guests laughed danced and thoroughly enjoyed the night. My friends want to hire them yearly just for fun.

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!

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.
