Entertainment returned in full force at Walt Disney World during the 2022 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, and among the many offerings was a rare musical experience: Kelly Richards, known as the Orlando Piano Man, performing inside The American Adventure Rotunda.

This unique opportunity was part of the Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure exhibit, blending history and live music for a truly immersive experience. Typically, The Voices of Liberty fill the rotunda with their powerful a cappella harmonies, but throughout summer 2022, Kelly Richards’ piano performances added a new, soothing layer of musical magic.
A Limited-Time Offering at Epcot
Kelly Richards’ performances were a temporary offering during the 2022 Epcot Food & Wine Festival. Unlike outdoor shows at the America Gardens Theater, his piano sessions provided a more intimate setting, where guests could pause from the festival hustle and enjoy classic and jazz-inspired tunes in the serene rotunda of The American Adventure pavilion.

For fans of live Disney entertainment, it was a chance to see a rare offering that’s no longer available. Kelly Richards brought a unique touch to the festival lineup, showcasing his incredible talent and passion for music while connecting with guests through the power of song.
