Experience Oscar—a joy-filled performance celebrating the life and extraordinary talent of Canadian jazz icon Dr. Oscar Peterson. Through live music, storytelling, dance, and imagination, this uplifting production celebrates one of Canada’s greatest pianists—his childhood dreams, his boundless curiosity, and his love of the piano.

This world premiere expands on the story told in the book Oscar Lives Next Door by Bonnie Farmer, imagining Oscar’s life after illness and following his path from a gifted young pianist to an international music legend. Experience the emotional highs and challenges Oscar faced as a young Black artist, while also being exposed to a range of artistic practices and cultural traditions.

Oscar is proudly made possible through the generous support of Andrea Brussa and Irene and Walt DeBoni.
