About Dave Schlossberg
Dave Schlossberg is an award-winning pianist and composer from Monroe, New Jersey. A member of numerous musical groups around the New Brunswick area, Dave loves Jewish folk music but also loves jazz – and composers such as Bach and Chopin.
Dave graduated from The College of New Jersey in 2006 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Piano Performance and is now the accompanist for many groups: the acclaimed New Jersey Cantors Concert Ensemble; Makhelat Hamercaz, the Jewish Choir of Central New Jersey; Kol Dodi, the Jewish Community Choir of Metro-West; and Kol Emet Choir out of Anshe Emeth Memorial Temple in New Brunswick. His compositions of Jewish choral music have won acclaim. His “Mi Chamocha” was selected for publication by Shalshelet, The Foundation for New Jewish Liturgical Music, and performed at the Foundation’s 6th International Festival in December 2016. Another piece, his “Etz Chayim,” was selected as the second-place winner of the Ben Steinberg Young Composers Award, sponsored by the Guild Of Temple Musicians.
