Jim Brickman: A Christmas Celebration

Jim Brickman brings A Christmas Celebration to the Booth Playhouse at Blumenthal Arts Center on Thursday, December 3, 2026. It's a holiday show from one of the most recognizable names in modern piano, and it falls right in that early-December window when the city starts to feel the season. The evening is presented by Blumenthal Arts.

If you're not familiar with the name, Brickman is the best-selling solo pianist of our time, and he's spent decades working as both a performer and a songwriter. He's put out 22 Number One albums and 32 Top 20 radio singles, and he's a member of Pandora's '2 Billion Streams' Club. Along the way, he's picked up two Grammy nominations, a Gospel Music Dove Award, two SESAC Songwriter of the Year Awards, and a Canadian Country Music Award. He's a driving force behind modern American instrumental music, and this holiday program is built around that same piano-led sound.

Brickman describes his music as something to be shared—to soothe, to inspire, to celebrate, and to love—and he calls it the soundtrack to life's most memorable moments. That's a good way to think about this one, too: it's a holiday concert, so it's meant to be an evening you take someone along with you. The show is A Christmas Celebration, and as the title suggests, the set is built around the holiday season.

It's at the Booth Playhouse, which is part of the Blumenthal Arts Center complex at 130 North Tryon Street in Charlotte. The show starts at 7:30 PM, and tickets start at $71.40.
