I need a Amplifier for the Backing tracks or a Piano for my Pianist if required Violin and Piano duo

I normally arrive 30 minutes before the performance. I normally do 2 sets of 45 minutes with 15 minutes brake
If I have to use an amplifier I need 5 mins of a sound check
I am happy to play outside in the hot weather but I ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area
I have a variety of set list but I can learn specific songs before the event depending on the agreement. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from my repertoire or let me choose the music for them."
