Piano Jams launches a brand-new series at The Beaumont—an electrifying blend of dueling pianos, contemporary dance, improvisation, classical showmanship, and spontaneous musical chaos. Curated by host Gregg Schiller (a.k.a. “Mozart”), the evening brings together some of Vancouver’s most exciting pianists across jazz, classical, ragtime, and contemporary styles—including the extraordinary Jimmy James Fraser, widely regarded as one of the city’s top jazz players. Gregg’s comedic Mozart persona guides the audience through each musical showdown with charm, wit, and theatrical flair. The night is punctuated by dynamic performances from Paper Rabbits Contemporary Dancers, weaving movement through the live piano duels and amplifying the energy in the room. With its mix of classical, jazz, rock, and improvisation, this theatre-in-the-round experience is accessible, surprising, and completely unpredictable—a true “something for everyone” musical variety showcase.
