Live piano music

WEDDINGS,  ANNIVERSARIES, 

CHRISTMAS  PARTIES, 

BUSINESS  RECEPTIONS,

AND ANY OTHER EVENTS

I have played background music for all sorts of ceremonies and occasions (from weddings to  fashion shows to graduation parties to memorials to Bar-Mitzvas) for more than twenty years. During this time, I formed my own entertainment style, and a large repertoire of a few hundreds pieces, including: 

• Arrangements of American, Italian, French, and Russian favorite songs and tunes, traditional and contemporary

• Waltzes of all sorts: Strauss, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, etc. (of course, waltzes are not only for dancing; they make an uplifting and inspiring background music as well)

• Jewish music: Instrumental Klezmer and Hassidic pieces, and Yiddish and Israelis songs

• Spanish music, from tangos to songs to concert pieces

• Light classical music

• Improvisations and public demands

The variety of this repertoire and the sheer breadth of it (about 10 hours of music without repeating a piece) makes it possible to adapt it to any mood: from the joy of a wedding to the solemnity of a funeral, from exciting dance music to meditative classical adagios. All the pieces I play have one thing in common, though: they make for a wonderful background music, rich in melodies, and soft and non-intrusive in presentation.

One of the greatest advantages of the piano is its rich sound and "self sufficiency". Almost any other instrument sounds incomplete by itself, but a piano can provide the melody, the rhythm, the chords – the sound of a whole band for the price of just one musician!  And, while I prefer to play on acoustic pianos, I don't depend on you owning or renting one: I have a good (and nice looking) digital piano that allows me to play anywhere. 

I perform mostly in the greater Seattle area. I may be willing to travel further, depending on the arrangement.
