Piano. Push. Play. is back in 2018!

By Living Room Realty, June 25, 2018

Have you ever had that unique and surreal experience when you are just walking around the city or in one of our fantastic parks, minding your own business and then suddenly and inexplicably, you happen upon a fabulously painted piano? It’s outside, it’s beautiful, and it’s waiting there, ready to be played by anyone that wishes to tickle it’s keys. Who put it there? What is it’s purpose? Why?

Piano! Push Play! is on a mission to make pianos available to anyone who wants to play them. You might find them across the street from Powell’s on Burnside, or in the International Rose Test Garden, or in Tabor Park. The founders wanted to make it possible for everyone to have access to music. It’s a remarkable mix of characters who sit down to play, proving that you can’t entirely judge someone from their appearance.

The summer kickoff concert in this Friday at 5pm(kid-friendly btw) out in front of the Portland Art Museum, and it’s going to be a the debut of this seasons pianos. Every year Piano. Push. Play. receives old pianos and gives them to local artists to redesign and refurbish. It’s public art that you can fully interact with, and it’s pure joy to see the wonder of the public upon discovering these treasures. They are here for a short amount of time while we have our brief Portland summer, and then they move indoors to local schools, community centers, and other places that can benefit from them.

Check out their website for more info and get yourself down to the show on Friday!
