Michigan is home to one of the most historical and distinguished resorts in the United States: Grand Hotel, Mackinac Island. For two seasons, Robert served as a principle pianist, offering guests classical piano performances, improvisational jazz sets, and duo performances with both cello and violin artists. Performing in exquisite environments like Grand Hotel requires an extensive repertoire, and a distinct, meticulous performance style.

Robert will offer your guests a style that has been cultivated through endless hours of personal and professional study, experimentation, and all the joyous benefits of hard work with conservatories, symphonies, and Detroit jazz masters. Listen for something different. Look for someone distinct. Then listen to what Robert can offer your valued guests.

Robert has several ways of contracting with resorts: Your establishment can offer him a set weekly rate for any two-week (or longer) contract, and he will arrange transportation, accommodations, and flight. Or, your establishment can offer him accommodations and a reduced weekly rate for any engagement of two-weeks or longer. Call or email Robert to discuss the engagement details, his availability, and your vision of any contract.

To Whom It May Concern:

I would like to respectfully submit a letter of recommendation on behalf of Robert Sanders. As Resident Historian and Hotel Concierge, I attend afternoon tea each day in the hotel parlor. I've had the pleasure of listening to pianist Robert Sanders each afternoon as we have opened the hotel for the 2001 season. Mr. Sanders is extremely talented and remarkably versatile, his repoitre ranges from classical music to interpretive jazz. Hotel guests comments and response to his music have been very positive. Mr. Sanders is also prompt and diligent in his work ethic.

I feel he would be an asset to any musical position you are considering him for. If you need additional information, please contact me personally at Grand Hotel.

Most Sincerely,
Robert Tagatz
