Heidi Savoie

“While she’s able to match Guaraldi’s delicate touch on the ivories, she can also brew a solo like Brubeck, though unlike Brubeck, she cools to a simmer before she gets to a boil. She has Vince’s dexterity and Brubeck’s fire, mating them with her own style.” – Edward Mowinkel of YaLikeJazz.net

“…She sent takes that would make Oscar Peterson jealous. I dropped them into the mix and the song came to life.” – Joe Kelly of the Kelly Song Collective

“Her magical playing on the piano perfectly matched the romantic ambiance of the night.” – Rubi Karuna

Heidi Savoie is a jazz pianist, vocalist, and composer based in Toronto, Canada. She fuses together the the best of both worlds, having crossed over from years of classical training in the Royal Conservatory into the rich innovations of recent times. Heidi studied under world-class musicians including Mark Eisenman and Frank Falco at York University, and draws inspiration from artists like Klaus Ogerman, Nat King Cole, Diana Krall, Melody Gardot and Laila Biali.

Her debut record, “Freedoms” features her compositions with lush string arrangements, sultry piano tones and soaring improvisations on cello, clarinet, accordion and more.

She is available for weddings, events, and lessons in Toronto.

“Amazing pianist for any event! I’m going to start off by saying right away how amazing Heidi is! From our early communication to her beautiful skills on the piano, she demonstrated professionalism and poise. The guests at my brother’s reception were so impressed with her array of music from classical music to original sound tracks I had requested. She even played some other familiar love songs that the guests really enjoyed. Her magical playing on the piano perfectly matched the romantic ambiance of the night. Heidi was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her for any event you are hosting. I definitely would love to have her play at my own wedding! Thank you so much Heidi!” – Rubi Karuna
