American Grands Tickets

American Grands returns to the ECC Arts Center in Elgin, Illinois, delivering a unique two-block performance day that showcases the versatility of piano music on a grand scale. Held in Building H's Blizzard Theatre, this event brings together hundreds of local pianists to create an expansive program spanning classical, theatrical, original, and popular arrangements. With conductor Colin Holman guiding the performance and Stephanie Spolum serving as musical director, the show captures the collective energy of the piano community in a single, unforgettable afternoon and evening.

The 31st edition is scheduled for January 24, 2026, with performances at 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM. ECC audiences can expect a diverse repertoire, the elegance of 12 grand pianos provided by Cordogan’s Pianoland, and a collaborative spirit that makes the concert feel both intimate and grand in scope.

Past editions, such as American Grands 30 on January 25, 2025, showcased the ongoing tradition of bringing together professional and hobbyist pianists for a shared musical experience. This year, ECC continues that tradition with familiar faces and fresh arrangements that highlight the breadth of piano repertoire.
