Think you’ve heard and seen everything that can be done with a venerable piano? Then you haven’t seen the show by Dan Popek, the new star in the piano firmament!
Whether playing Vivaldi with virtuosity, Rimsky-Korsakov on his back, or Duke Ellington with one hand: like no other, the likeable exceptional talent from Heilbronn masters almost every musical style and adds his personal, sometimes acrobatic “dan-tastic” touch to the whole thing – not only on the piano, but also through charming and witty anecdotes from the world of the 88 keys.
Celebrated by audiences and the press – who call him the “Mozart of Boogie Woogie” (Süddeutsche Zeitung) – Dan Popek, not yet 30 years old, has played at the renowned Jazz Fest Wien, the International Jazz Festival Prague, and the Dixieland Festival in Dresden, among others. Guest appearances with international greats such as Axel Zwingenberger, Joja Wendt, Cory Henry, and the Spider Murphy Gang have taken him all over Europe.
Now the award-winning “piano acrobat” (Hamburger Abendblatt) is on tour with his solo show “It’s Dan-tastic” and is sure to leave audiences delighted, hovering between awe and admiration. See for yourself and experience the finest entertainment on an evening in a class of its own!
