The Perfect Touch

Leon came in played in our church foyer for our. Christmas Eve Service. It was the perfect touch for the environment we were trying to create before and after services. Everything from communication, punctuality, and his skill level far exceeded expectations. There were so many of our people in attendance that morning that stopped just to watch him play. Many even said it was their favorite part of the morning. He had adults and kids stopping to visit with him…WHILE PLAYING., and he was able to carry on the conversation and never miss a beat of what he was doing in the piano. 10 out of 10 for this guy. We’d gladly hire him again.

Hired as: Jazz Pianist, Keyboard Player

Thank you for such personal comment that you expressed. From the moment I arrived to your church I felt like home and members were friendly and your program was very well organized.
Enjoyed to contribute to Christmas Celebration and looking forward for future events.

About

Ask any local music critic, talent agency or professional musician to
name the finest pianists in Dallas-Fort Worth area and one name will come up frequently: Leon Ziligson.
Leon was introduced to piano and started piano lessons at a music school for gifted children in Riga, Latvia. He studied classical piano. That gave him a good foundation for all types of music. At 14, Leon discovered American Jazz and was fascinated with that music. He joined Rigas Estrades Orchestra, when he was 18 years old, where he was the youngest member of that orchestra. Later toured with Eddie Rozner Orchestra, Moscow Music Hall and others.
Since making his home in Dallas, Leon has earned respect and praise from faithful following of music lovers for his piano stylings. Leon has played steady performances at 5-star restaurants and hotels such as The Westin, Intercontinental, Fairmont and Crescent Court, The Adolphus and The Anatole. In addition, he was the featured pianist for Dallas Jazz Orchestra recordings. Leon can play almost anything from classical, broad-way, pop, soft rock and country - he plays in various styles and rhythms and his repertoire is virtually unlimited. (link hidden)
