hi, and thank you for reading this. I started playing piano since I was six and it is a great honor to have joined this web site in which everyone talks about music, and especially piano stuff.
Now, my problem is that a young girl asked me to play 2 hours in a reception for her art exhibition and I don't konw what to play.
Would you recommend me some songs that are appropiate for this kind of event?

unless you have a vocalist at your side, I can't recommend any songs for you. 

don't play music, play muzak!  do a search on the forum; I remember some threads in the past where everyone named a bunch of boring elevator music that makes good background for when music isnt intended to be the focus of people's attention.

You & your music will probably  be Invisble at this event. It's going to APPEAR classy; that's all.
 
Tell her to pipe in some recorded music.
 If you want, record it yourself then go to the exhibition,  eat shrimp & drink wine.
 [i'd also comment to other visitors that the pianist plays spendidly & you wish you knew who it was  ]

There are songs without words.

I would get yourself a book of jazz standards - the Real Book is good if you're familiar with this type of playing, otherwise, you can find some transcriptions somewhere.  "Bench Warmer" is right - you and your music will be more background music ("invisible"), and so I should think you want to make sure that you get paid well for this.

Is music ever visible?

Or when shrooming.
