Picture this: the sun setting over the lush landscapes of Blank Park Zoo, the soft roar of lions in the background, and the melodious sounds of dueling pianos filling the air. This was the captivating scene at a recent corporate event in Des Moines, Iowa, where Felix And Fingers Dueling Pianos took center stage.
Wild Beats and Wild Beasts
Performing at a zoo was a unique experience, to say the least. With lions lounging behind the performers and sea lions to their right, it was a delightful blend of music and wildlife. The event was catered with a
delicious buffet of mac & cheese, chicken, and pasta salad, served right next to a group of giant tortoises. It was a feast for both the palate and the eyes!
Engaging the Crowd
The audience was filled with enthusiastic kids, their faces painted by a local dance team, requesting everything from the tunes of Encanto to Bon Jovi’s classic, Livin’ on a Prayer. The sing-along session was a hit, especially when the pianists played “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” with a playful twist, dedicating it to the lion and changing the lyrics to “In the zoo, the Des Moines zoo, the lion roars tonight”.
Music, Improv, and a Dash of Fun
The night was filled with great requests and improvisations. One memorable moment was when a kid with tiger face paint requested a song about a tiger. The pianists obliged with “Eye of the Tiger,” encouraging the kids to roar along. The result was a chorus of impressive roars from the audience. The fun didn’t stop there. When “Dance Monkey” was played, the kids danced like monkeys, adding a delightful touch of whimsy to the evening.
