In Freeport, Illinois, the Masonic Event Center transformed into an elegant stage for an unforgettable night of fundraising, laughter, and non-stop dueling pianos. On November 14, 2025, Felix And Fingers delivered a memorable performance at a gala event called “Piano Noir,” uniting music lovers and generous community members in support of the local hospital network’s efforts to revitalize critical defibrillator machines.
Fundraising with a Musical Twist
The evening was designed to be much more than a concert. It was a vibrant fundraiser featuring a live auction, silent auction, and heartfelt awards recognizing the dedicated doctors and nurses of the local hospitals. The classy black and white themed gala provided the perfect ambiance, where music met philanthropy. Amid the fundraising excitement, the dueling pianos performance stole the spotlight, engaging the audience with dynamic sets full of energy and witty humor. At one point, the crowd was treated to an hour-long set that not only raised generous donations in tips—but also brought a contagious sense of unity and celebration to the event.
A Night of Laughter and Dance
Guests enjoyed a mix of humor and nostalgia as Jake had the audience laughing with his playful, joke-laden rendition of “Friends In Low Places.” The fun continued when Duncan got the dance floor packed with his electrifying interpretation of “Footloose.” As the night progressed, the performers returned after a brief interlude of speeches and live auctions, igniting a giant dance party that resonated with the spirit of community giving. Throughout the evening, the Masonic Event Center proved to be the ideal venue in Freeport for such an energetic and heartwarming occasion—a space that merges functionality with an inviting atmosphere for any dueling pianos event.
