Ivan Dalia - Pianist

Hi, I'm Ivan Dalia — an Italian pianist, composer, and showman based in New York City. I create unforgettable evenings of "Music, Stories & Smiles" for weddings, private parties, corporate events, cocktail hours, and intimate gatherings. My repertoire spans classical, jazz, blues, pop, rock and classic movie soundtracks — and I tailor every set to the moment, whether that's elegant background music for dinner, a romantic ceremony, or a high-energy showpiece that gets your guests on their feet. I also take requests and love designing custom arrangements for first dances, surprise tributes, and special toasts. You may have seen me perform at NYC venues like The Ivy Room, Russian Samovar, The Nines, and San Carlo Osteria Piemonte. In 2025, I received the Premio Rai Cinema as both actor and composer for a feature film, and The New York Times profiled my creative process and life as a working pianist in NYC. What you can expect when you book me: - A polished, professional performance tailored to your event and audience - Clear communication from first message through the final encore - Solo piano, or piano + vocals/band setups for larger productions - Travel throughout NYC and the tri-state area (and beyond on request) Let's make your event one your guests will talk about for years. Send me a message with your date, venue, and the vibe you're going for — I'll get back to you quickly with ideas and a custom quote.
