About
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.

I recently had the pleasure of listening to Ivan Dalia in a piano lounge setting, and his performance was absolutely captivating. His refined touch and elegant phrasing created the perfect atmosphere, sophisticated yet warm. The repertoire moved smoothly between Italian classics, Brazilian songs, and jazz standards, all reinterpreted with taste and personality. Ivan’s presence at the piano brought a sense of intimacy and charm that drew everyone in, turning the evening into a memorable experience. He’s not only a remarkable pianist but also a true entertainer who knows how to make every note count. Highly recommended for any high-end venue or event looking to create an unforgettable musical ambiance.

I hired Ivan Dalia for a fancy Italian restaurant, and his music brought exactly the atmosphere we needed. Focusing on Italian music, he played with elegance, warmth, and a refined touch that perfectly matched the character of the place. His sound filled the room without ever overwhelming it, creating a sophisticated and inviting ambiance for our guests. Ivan added real charm and authenticity to the evening, elevating the entire dining experience.

Ivan Dalia’s performance at our private event was nothing short of extraordinary. He brought together technical excellence, engaging storytelling, and authentic humor in a way that resonated with every guest. His ability to shift seamlessly between moods — from lighthearted entertainment to deeply moving moments — speaks to his skill as both musician and performer. The lasting impression he made is evident in the ongoing conversations among attendees. I highly recommend Ivan for anyone seeking a world-class performer who can truly elevate an occasion.
