For the grand finale of the OpenICE mini-marathon on April 30, a party bus takes audience members from The Promontory to PianoForte Chicago, downtown Chicago's premiere piano store and concert space.  Brilliant jazz pianist Craig Taborn teams up with Grammy-winning ICE pianist Cory Smythe for a unique two-piano duo show of improvisations, original pieces, and a special appearance from a third keyboard tuned a quarter-tone flat!  More program details TBA.
