Opening at The Street on Thursday August 11, Adventures in Pianoland takes us on a heart-warming journey through the life and career of award-winning music legend Jan Preston.
Celebrated as Australia’s Queen of the Boogie Piano, Jan spins yarns from dives in Soho to the concert halls of Europe, to stealing a piano in broad daylight from a bar in downtown Wellington, and comes clean on her longstanding and sometimes bumpy road to piano stardom. This intimate, engrossing combination of skilfully performed piano music, images, songs and stories, is masterfully directed by award-winning New Zealand film director Gaylene Preston (Perfect Strangers, Ruby & Rata, Mr Wrong) who also happens to be Jan’s sister.
From Chopsticks to Chopin to Winnie Atwell, expect virtuosic playing as Jan candidly spills the beans on her extraordinary experiences as a longstandingm performing musician whilst sharing insights, at turns whimsical and shrewd, into our music and culture of the last fifty years. Jan also will include deeply personal original songs from her repertoire which she has rarely performed before and some new ones which will be given first airing and provide counterpoint to her life story.
