The Red Piano Concert Series at The Pearl
We’re thrilled to present The Pearl's new music series, where each event is a tribute to the timeless artists who’ve shaped the soundtrack of our lives. Starting January 6th, we’ll kick off the season with an exciting tribute to Billy Joel, and each month following will bring something fresh, vibrant, and full of energy — all played on our iconic red Yamaha baby grand piano. Accompanied by talented vocalists and musicians, each performance is designed to bring these classic hits to life like never before.
Witness Unforgettable Music
The Red Yamaha Baby Grand Piano will take center stage, creating a warm, intimate vibe, as it’s paired with live vocals and musicians that make each night come alive with emotion and energy.
As always, enjoy a chef-curated, four-course dinner, perfectly crafted to complement each musical theme. Expect surprises, immersive visuals, and a mood that’ll transport you straight to the heart of the music. Set against the backdrop of Aspire, with stunning views and a serene atmosphere just 25 minutes from Knoxville, this is more than just dinner — it’s a celebration of music, culture, and the magic of live performance.
Don’t miss your chance to experience the magic. Join us for a night you won’t forget.
