Oscar Peterson 100: Recognizing and Rethinking Influence

Join two-time JUNO Award-winning pianist and composer Andy Milne for an intimate afternoon session of music, insight, and conversation.

Through personal reflection, live performance, and curated audio examples, Milne explores the many layers of Oscar Peterson’s influence — on his own artistic journey, on generations of musicians, and on the broader currents of Canadian culture and jazz history. As a curious observer driven by connection, Milne also challenges conventional notions of musical criticism and invites audiences to consider how we define and measure influence in an ever-evolving artistic landscape.
