The range of Dave Flippo's experience and education makes him one of Chicago's most extraordinary and popular pianists. Mr. Flippo holds a Doctorate and Masters from the U. of MI and the Eastman School of Music in composition and piano. For over twenty years he has worked with some of the Chicago area's top agents and musicians, performing at the finest area hotels, banquet halls and restaurants for numerous weddings, corporate events, family events, bar mitzvahs and conventions. He has also performed at numerous, more casual events... house parties, Chicago area piano bars and area jazz clubs. He has also recorded several CD's of original material with Southport Records, Oppilf Records and Inner Light Music.

Dave is comfortable with all styles of music and situations--be it an elegant, formal evening or a more casual, eclectic celebration. He can perform a collection of energetic jazz standards and classic show tunes or can play a set of popular classics and piano bar favorites; he is perfectly comfortable designing a program that fits the client's vision. He also has a full repertoire of classical, ethnic and holiday music if so desired. A portable piano and PA is available, if required.
