Why does the world need a Piano Day? “There are many reasons,” says Nils Frahm, “but above all, it can’t hurt to celebrate the piano and everything related to it: Artists, composers as well as piano makers, tuners and transporters – and most importantly: the listeners.
The international event is about providing a platform for projects that fundamentally revolve around the piano. These projects are for everyone who loves the piano – young or old, amateur or professional, from any musical genre.
The campaign thrives on participation and involvement. If you would like to organize an event yourself, please send an email to info@pianoday.org.
You can find the events listed on the website www.pianoday.org. Once again this year, there are many piano concerts and other activities taking place around the world: Berlin, London, Paris, Stockholm, Melbourne, Kyoto, and many more.
Leading up to the official event on March 28th, there are already many concerts happening as part of the collective event, including a matinee with Thilo Schölpen, Tom Blankenberg, and Voide (March 24, Düsseldorf) or Ólafur Arnalds (March 26, London).
