Events · Community events
An unforgettable night of story and song for your community.
Shuls, Chabad houses, federations, schools, JCCs — whatever the room, Dan builds the evening around it. Jazz language, Jewish soul, and a piano that answers the people in front of it.
Events start at $2,500.

The experiences
Three evenings your community will still be talking about next year.
Each one is a full night built around the piano — not background music at someone else's program. Pick the one that fits your room, and Dan shapes the rest around the people in it.
Jazz Meets Jewish Interactive Concert Experience
Solo piano or jazz trio plus Dan's storytelling, with live requests from the room. Familiar niggunim and High Holiday melodies taken somewhere they've never been, with the audience shaping where it goes.

Alephonics Interactive Concert Experience
The room supplies the Hebrew words — a name, a phrase, a verse from the parsha — and Dan plays them, live, using his Alephonic mapping method. Nobody hears the same concert twice.

Piano Soundbaths
Lights low, no talking, just piano. A culturally-rooted alternative to crystal bowls and gongs, built from melodies your neshama already knows.

How it runs
Ninety minutes, then the real part.
Whichever evening you pick, it runs about 90 minutes. Then Dan stays — farbrenging, schmoozing, answering the questions people were too shy to ask in front of a crowd. That's where the night stops being a performance and becomes a connection.
Sound and piano requirements are simple, and Dan will walk your team through them. Travel is worked out per event.
Go bigger
Turn any of them into a full Shabbaton.
A whole weekend built around the music, with Dan in residence from Thursday night through Saturday night. Quoted per weekend.
Thursday night
The concert
Any of the three evenings above, with the farbrengen afterwards.
Shabbos
Scholar in Residence
A chassidus class, or a discussion on Torah & Creativity — the ideas underneath the music, unplugged.
Shabbos
Seder Niggunim
A sit-down session of niggunim: singing together, learning where they came from, and what they're doing to us.
Saturday night
Musical Melave Malka
Escorting the Shabbos queen out with music. The loosest, warmest room of the whole weekend.
Already have an event?
Gala & fundraiser music.
Live piano for the event you're already running — cocktail hour, dinner, the program, the appeal. Dan's jazz-meets-Jewish playing gives the room warmth and identity without ever competing with your speakers. He reads the schedule, watches the room, and plays what the moment needs.
Included with every single event
A custom commission — your community's own musical signature.
Every event Dan plays — concert, soundbath, gala, simcha, full Shabbaton — includes an original piece composed for you using the Alephonic Mapping Method™: your community's name, the family's name, or the words at the heart of the occasion, mapped letter by letter into music and played live in the room.
It exists nowhere else and it can't be repeated for anyone else. It's yours — a musical signature for your simcha or your kehilla, and it's the thing people still talk about a year later.
For community leaders
Catch Dan when he's already coming your way.
Travel is usually the biggest line in the budget. Tell us where your community is and we'll email you when Dan is touring nearby — when he's already in the region, the travel cost gets split or disappears, and a night that felt out of reach suddenly isn't.
- · A heads-up before dates in your area get filled
- · Reduced or shared travel fees when Dan's already close
- · No obligation, and no list-swapping — ever
