Animated by his collaborations with Jarvis Cocker, Feist and Daft Punk, musical maverick Chilly Gonzales steps out onto the stage with his brand-new show, GONZO.
Canadian piano virtuoso Jason Beck is best known as Chilly Gonzales, his charismatic and entertaining alter-ego. Chilly Gonzales is as well known for his intimate approach to the piano through his Piano album trilogy as for his undeniable talents as a showman in concerts that combine his classical training with a natural comedic flair. He has collaborated with the likes of Jarvis Cocker, Feist, Drake and Daft Punk.
Leaving the light-heartedness of recent projects – like French Kiss – behind, GONZO marks a comeback to his English language roots, with a nod to his adoptive country Germany. Brazen in its approach, GONZO speaks openly about what’s been on this musical maverick’s mind without ever losing a sense of melody.
After teaming up with Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker at the 2017 International Festival, Chilly Gonzales returns to our stage with the UK premiere of GONZO.
