Seth Pae has been lighting up the stage on piano and vocals since June of 2021, performing Dueling Piano and Solo shows at clubs all across Chicago. Originally trained as a Classical Viola player, Seth is further expanding his musical horizons with something a little different.
In a classical concert hall, Seth is often seen sporting a tuxedo. The musical selections performed were determined weeks (often months) before concert night. Seth would be surrounded by 7 to 11 other violists, along with the rest of the orchestra.
In Dueling Pianos show, Seth can be seen wearing whatever the f*** he wants. This may include a sports jersey and jeans, or shiny pants with a sleeveless shirt... and of course there’s always a possibility for the occasional crop top. The song selections are chosen on the fly, dictated by what the audience members request! In a Dueling show, only one other person joins Seth on stage, and and in a solo show, he’s all by himself.
The main difference though? Classical Orchestras typically “frown upon” Seth drinking beer while on stage. SMH. You can’t tell me that Mozart and those cats weren’t shotgunning barley wine during the premiere of Marriage of Figaro. Have you read about the plot to that thing? Home boy was def partying.
