Concert | Grammy Nominee Chilly Gonzales' Piano Concerto No.1, a U.S. Premiere


All-round entertainer, pianist, rapper, Guinness World Record holder, and musical genius Chilly Gonzales performs the U.S. premiere of Piano Concerto No. 1, a new musical work for a 10-piece orchestra commission piece. Chilly Gonzales is no ordinary musician. In the time it has taken him to create six albums, he has also broken a Guinness world record, been nominated for a Grammy and made his first feature film. But then again, what else can you expect from someone whose musical talents are so adept he can switch from working with German fidget house maestros Boys Noize to creating piano-driven pop hits? Gonzales is primarily a satirical rapper, pianist and producer whose passion for entertaining has resulted in him adopting various personas. Two shows: 7:30pm & 9:30pm.
