The Singing Cantor Pianist from Buffalo, NY

Welcome! I am the Singing Cantor and it would be my absolute pleasure to provide you and your group with an afternoon of musical entertainment by playing the piano and singing songs of days gone by. For the past 15 years, I have been performing at nursing homes, retirement centers and other venues all over the world. In my performance, which is usually an hour or so, I take the audience for a stroll down memory lane and invite them to sing along and join me. Please watch the videos to see me in action. "Need a one-of-a-kind performer? Are you looking for someone who will keep your clients amused, entertained and even educated? Look no further than Daniel Cantor. Dan isn't your typical one-man show. He not only sings and plays piano, but his hour includes taped newsreels, copies of advertisements form days gone by, and even jokes, which are sure to make you laugh or groan. Dan packs a sing-a-long, a comedy routine, and an informative commentary into a well-rehearsed show. He not only plays piano, but brings copies of the lyrics for everyone to join in. He not only tells his audience about past experiences, but encourages his audience to participate and tell their stories too. Dan can enthrall the most diverse of audiences. Working with the elderly, he makes sure they know what he's talking about and makes sure he's heard too. He brings all his own equipment, and shares anything he has with others. His rates are reasonable and he's sure to make you smile. Dan will amuse young and old alike with classic songs you know and love, as well as bring back memories. Dan's talent is original, and is surely nothing you have seen before or will again. His show changes with each appearance so no two are exactly ever alike, unlike many entertainers you have seen who do the same thing each and every time. Dan is a little political, a little satirical, and a whole lot of fun for all whom are involved. Daniel Cantor is novel is his form and functions. When you hire Dan, you will get a punctual person who does things that no one else has even thought of. Allow Dan to sing for you, talk with you, and enliven you and your audience with songs, joke, and narratives, which are sure to make sure everyone is entertained." -Allison Benedict, Activities Director
