Piano Jam Schedule
Sunday, September 27, 2026 | 10AM – 7PM | Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall
Out of nearly 200 lottery entries, 83 community pianists of all ages and skill levels were chosen to play a short piece on the hall’s renowned Steinway grand piano. Joined by 5 professional guest artists, the event features exactly 88 pianists—one for each key on the piano! The atmosphere is informal and welcoming—not a performance, but an opportunity to play in a beautiful setting and share the joy of making music with fellow piano enthusiasts.
While the lottery is now closed, interested pianists are encouraged to attend throughout the day in case spaces become available due to no-shows.
