Street Pianos "Play Me I'm Yours" Participative Performance Art!

Charming and almost too wonderful - grin.

Street pianos are appearing in cities across the world. Located in parks, squares, bus shelters and train stations, outside galleries, markets and on bridges and ferries, the pianos are for any member of the public to enjoy and claim ownership of. 112 pianos have been installed so far.

Who plays them and how long they remain is up to each community. Each piano acts as sculptural, musical, blank canvas that becomes a reflection of the communities it is embedded into. Many pianos are personalised and decorated.

In 2010, ‘Play Me, I’m Yours’ will be presented in: London, Belfast, Barcelona, Pécs (Hungary), Cincinnati, San Jose and possibly New York City. Adelaide are presenting ‘Play Me, I’m Yours’ in 2011.
