A Jazz Piano Christmas 2025 – But not at the Kennedy Center
For more than three decades, “A Jazz Piano Christmas” at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. has been a quiet highlight of the holiday season for jazz and piano lovers. No fixed formulas, no “seasonal jazz” clichés — just strong pianistic voices working with familiar material. This year, the live concert is on pause. Here’s what changed, and where pianists can still turn for meaningful jazz piano Christmas listening and playing. Read more

Performance gigs?
on: March 14, 2011, 08:43:19 PM
Hello, I am a new member to Piano Street.  I am a classically trained pianist and would like to explore more areas of the classical piano world.  Have any well known piano pieces? Also, I would like to play for weddings or other special events (a cocktail hour would be my dream). Do you know of any websites that i can join for opportunities like these?

I don't know about websites, but I suggest getting business cards made and leaving them at bridal shops and music stores.  If you don't have one, you should get a church job playing for services.  Not only is it excellent experience and a source of income, it also can lead to just these sorts of gigs through word of mouth.
