An Exclusive Evening with Jon Schmidt: Solo Piano Tour

Acclaimed pianist and composer Jon Schmidt, co-founder of the global sensation The Piano Guys, is returning to the stage for a rare and intimate solo performance. The Jon Schmidt Solo Piano Tour – a limited series of concerts offering audiences a unique opportunity to experience Jon’s music in its purest form, just one man and a piano.

Raised by German immigrant parents, Jon was immersed in music from a young age. Classically trained and naturally driven, he began composing at age 11, teaching as a teenager, and performing his own music professionally by his early twenties. Though he initially planned to study business, audience demand quickly turned music from a side passion into a full-time pursuit.

Years later, Jon teamed up with Steve Nelson, Paul Anderson, and Al van der Beek to form The Piano Guys, a YouTube-born collaboration that went on to achieve more than 2 billion views, 2.7 billion streams, and 13 albums, including six #1 debuts on Billboard’s Classical chart. The group’s blend of classical crossover and cinematic production has brought them to sold-out venues and major media appearances around the world.

While Jon’s role in The Piano Guys continues, this solo tour offers something a little different: a chance to hear the pianist behind the piano. With signature pieces, new material, and a relaxed, candid style, Jon brings audiences into his world with a mix of musical depth and wit.

“Getting back to solo performing feels like reconnecting with an old friend,” Jon says. “It reminds me why I started playing in the first place.”
