Sound so vivid it seems to come to life as pops of colour, movement and shape. Celebrating Oscar Peterson.
In Little Burgundy, a colourfully painted piano stands as a testament to Oscar Peterson's profound impact on the world of music. Known globally for his exceptional talent as a pianist, composer, educator, and advocate, Peterson's legacy is deeply intertwined with this vibrant community. Reflecting his enduring influence, the Royal Canadian Mint has launched the "Celebrating Oscar Peterson" commemorative coin. Together, the piano and the coin beautifully encapsulate the essence of Peterson’s contributions, ensuring his spirit continues to resonate and inspire future generations.
This tribute to Oscar Peterson resonates with modern-day nostalgia: fragments of vintage jazz posters meshed with bold mid-century colour-blocking. While undoubtedly an ode to one of the all-time greats, Peterson, it also captures our collective journey of remembering, reimagining, and venerating the past amidst our ever-changing present.
