(George Ko)

“There are plenty of good and even great pianists out there, but this guy is incredible... Performing wizardry.”

— Kathy Parsons, Mainly Piano Reviews

Piano rhapsodist GKO returns to Seattle with The Blue Tour—an immersive journey through the legacy of the esteemed jazz label, Tokyo’s vibrant music scene, and the evocative power of the color.

Raised on Chopin and side-tracked by jazz records, GKO’s artistry blends the lyricism of a Debussy symphony with the wonder of a Ghibli film. “As an in-the-moment composer, I just want to show how incredible and beautiful the piano is and, in between breaths, make some magic,” says GKO. As a genre-defying Steinway Artist, he is quietly redefining what it means to be a modern pianist, focusing on pure expression over adherence to a particular style. Audiences consistently praise his performances as virtuosic delights, filled with intimate whispers to the heart.

The show will be split into 2 sets, and you’ll have the opportunity to compose a song with the artist.
