“The Canadian from Cologne, as always wearing a dressing gown and slippers over his shirt and trousers, consistently reveals his wild side on the concert po- dium. (...) And the audience is knocked out with de- light,” was the Thüringer Allgemeine’s verdict on his performance at Kunstfest in 2021. – And the Weimar audience can expect more of the same in 2023: He is an entertainer who gives everything on stage.
Chilly Gonzales is equally well-known for the intimate piano sounds of his trilogy of best-selling albums ‘Solo Piano’, his sweaty show numbers and original compositions for award-winning stars. He fills the world’s great concert halls in his trademark dressing gown and slippers – and on any given night in one of his solo concerts, you might experience him, for example, presenting a musicological analysis of a Billie Eilish hit or showing off his rapping skills.
He sings and writes songs with Jarvis Cocker, Feist and Drake and is a Grammy-winner for his collaboration on Daft Punk's Album »Random Access Memories«
