David Zipse, Virtuoso Pianist Pianist from Philadelphia, PA

Sure, there's a reason why clients have trusted me with over 200 bookings, why I have over 100 glowing reviews and 24 awards (including the coveted Rising Star Award for being the Top Booked Keyboardist for 9 of the past 10 years), and if you choose to hire me, I'll do my best to EARN a review just as glowing as the rest! Always aiming to please, David
