Back on State Street October 5-24, 2021!

Pianos on State spontaneously reintroduces music and art into people’s everyday lives, as they go about their business, about their shopping. You don’t have to pass any test, you don’t have to have any qualifications, they’re there for everyone. 

Art teaches us that you can change the pattern. A piano can be on the street. A stranger walking down the street next to you might have powers you didn’t expect. They might suddenly sit down at that piano and play Chopin’s Nocturne Opus 9 in E Flat major no. 2. And that is a hopeful feeling. 

A lot of YouTube videos have been created with and about Pianos on State over the years. We've collected a few below. In addition to formal documentation, one of our favorite things is when people spontaneously film themselves playing and just post it up. It's exactly the sort of the project is all about. Just search "Pianos on State" in YouTube to find a few.
