About
Versatile and Highly-Skilled...
Dustin Callahan has performed extensively throughout California as a solo artist presenting standard classical literature and original works, as an accompanist for vocalists, and in chamber ensembles.
As a pianist for parties and events he has performed for weddings, receptions, Christmas parties, cocktail parties and everything in between-even funerals. He has a wide variety of background music and has performed for several dozen secular and traditional weddings throughout California in recent years.
Dustin is very familiar with the Catholic wedding ceremony, having performed as both pianist and organist for several weddings at the Mission Church at Santa Clara University in California and surrounding areas. He is currently a teacher of applied music and a collaborative pianist for the Marymount College Wednesday noon Mass and the University Choir. With undergraduate degrees in piano performance and composition, Dustin has a Masters of Music in Composition from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music.
Upon booking, Dustin will accommodate every last request and learn any song your heart desires; making your special day even more special.
Dustin can perform anything from Schubert's Ave Maria, Classical (Chopin, Debussy, Beethoven etc.) to Broadway classics to pop standards to light Jazz to Sinatra. Upon request, Dustin can perform any number of his neo-romantic compositions for piano.
On some occasions a piano may not be available at the venue; or, perhaps you would like to have music for an outside reception or party. Rest assured, our portable full-sized keyboard features rich acoustic piano sounds that are sure to impress. I also use a 300 watt full-size Keyboard PA with sonic enhancement hardware. Sound samples of this instrument are available through this site.
Additional musicians (violin, cello, flute, voice, viola) and instrumentation can be added or modified to perfectly match your entertainment needs.
While new to Gigmasters I'm not new to piano entertainment. With over 10 years of professional piano experience, I will go every extra mile to make your next big event first class.
Thank you so much for your consideration, book me now and I will personally work with you to ensure that the music is tailored exactly to your needs.

Wedding Cocktail Hour
in Anaheim, CA
on 06/04/2011
"It is difficult for me to put into words what a tremendous addition Dustin's music was to the cocktail hour of our daughter's wedding reception. His piano talents set the mood for a glorious evening. His appearance was impeccable and he is a charming young man. Our guests raved about the ambiance created by his wonderful music. I recommend you leave this play list up to Dustin. He reads the crowd and selects the right music for the moment. My only regret was that we hired him just for the cocktail hour! I could have listened to this top notch musician all evening! "

"Dustin played for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. It was so great having him apart of our big day! He was so easy to work with, quick to respond to me emails, and accommodated all my music requests. My mother in law sang Let It Be Me during the ceremony, and Dustin was kind enough to send me two different piano tracks that she could practice too. We strongly recommend Dustin to anyone seeking live music :) "
