This holiday show features the virtuoso talent of four dueling pianists and two wonderful singers. Steel Pan virtuoso 17-year-old Jaden Teague, award-winning Washington Island pianist Jonathan Bass, and Door County concert pianist Jodie DeSalvo join Colin Welford, music director of Hamilton, Wicked, Disney’s Lion King, and Billy Elliot on Broadway. We’ll also have the famous double grand piano from Washington Island, making this an unforgettable performance. "I love playing Christmas music," said Welford, "especially in Door County. I've played in halls across the world, but there's nothing quite like a Door County Christmas. And playing with EIGHT pianists' hands all at once — well, that may be a once-in-a-lifetime thing!”
