LECLERC’S: AN EXCLUSIVE NIGHT
IN MELBOURNE

The latest in our partnership with racing legend Charles Leclerc: A one-night only pop-up piano bar in Melbourne.

Leclerc might be known for his tenacious spirit in the world of racing, but our partnership was born from our desire to explore his tenacity and creativity off the track. Creatively fuelled by his passion for music, the self-taught pianist and composer told us:

“It’s the opportunity to embrace my passions, celebrate my journey, and share moments with others that truly fuels me”

BRINGING CHARLES LECLERC’S
PASSIONS TO LIFE

In collaboration with Leclerc, the night was designed to bring this passion for music to life. The pop-up piano bar seamlessly blended music, whisky and celebration together – marking the first of a collaboration set to fuse success, creativity and craftsmanship.

Our collective ambition for the night? Sharing Charles’ journey to the grand prix with fans – ultimately inspiring them to strike the right note and celebrate the successes in their own lives.  The exclusive, invite-only attendee list was made up of talent from across Australia’s creative scene, as well as fans of Charles, and media to get his message out to the world.

IN CONVERSATION:
CHARLES LECLERC X NINA VEGAS

 

The exclusive event kicked off with a conversation between Charles and Australian DJ and music producer, Nina Las Vegas. Leclerc opened up about his deep love for music and the piano, and together they explored the parallels between the artistry of piano and the craft of whisky. He explained that – much like in the world of whisky, “The art of success is blending the right notes”. His craft requires time and precision, but it’s in embracing all the sides of who he is that he feels his success truly reaches new heights.

STRIKING
THE RIGHT NOTE

 

The blending of genres didn’t end there, with performances that paired precision with creativity from artists across Melbourne’s music scene. Known for his versatile creative output and ability to shift between styles, SilentJay kept things soulful with his playful jazz / R&B influenced set, followed by an unforgettable rap and hip-hop performance from award-winning musician and vocalist Genesis Owusu, and a set from DJ PGZ to close out the night in classic Chivas Regal style.
