New York, NY (For Release 11.10.25) — SMOKE Jazz Club, a world-renowned venue located in New York City, is proud to announce the launch of its new Steinway Spiriocast Concert Series, an innovative live performance experience that bridges the physical and digital listening experiences. In partnership with Steinway & Sons, the series brings SMOKE’s popular performances directly to audiences around the globe through the cutting-edge Steinway Spirio | r piano and Spiriocast technology.

The Spiriocast @ SMOKE Series will feature renowned jazz pianists performing intimate solo Sunday afternoon concerts on SMOKE’s Steinway Spirio | r grand piano, while simultaneously streaming their live performances—key for key, pedal for pedal—in real time to Steinway Spirios in select venues and private homes across the world.

Each event offers a uniquely intimate and interactive concert experience, allowing audiences to hear and feel the exact touch of the artist as if they were sitting at the piano themselves.

“SMOKE has always been about connecting audiences with the soul of live jazz,” said Paul Stache, co-owner of SMOKE Jazz Club. “With Steinway’s Spiriocast technology, we’re expanding that experience beyond the walls of our club and into living rooms and performance spaces worldwide. It’s an incredible new chapter for both artists and listeners.”

The inaugural Spiriocast @ SMOKE concert took place September 21, 2025, with George Cables. Forthcoming concerts include Joey Alexander (Nov 16 at 4:30 p.m.) and Cyrus Chestnut (January 2026), followed by performances highlighting today’s most acclaimed jazz pianists and rising stars. The series underscores SMOKE’s ongoing commitment to presenting authentic, world-class jazz while embracing innovation in performance and audience engagement.

“Steinway & Sons is thrilled to partner with SMOKE Jazz Club on this pioneering series,” said Gavin English, President of Steinway & Sons Americas. “Spiriocast represents the next evolution in how music can be shared—authentic, live, and emotionally resonant. There’s no better venue to showcase that magic than SMOKE.”

Steinway & Sons has presented a wide range of exceptional artists in Spiriocasts including Lang Lang, Garrick Ohlsson, Richard Goode, Jason Moran, Pallavi Mahidhara, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Harry Connick, Jr., and more.
