Sixty Pianos on the Streets of New York---"Play Me I'm Yours."

Now Luke Jerram has brought his "Play Me, I'm Yours" art installations to the streets of New York City. There are 60 pianos scattered around the streets of the city. From reports, they are all in constant use.

Pianists of every ability level are encouraged to sit down and play. And instant communities form and re-form all day long. Some piano-players bring their bands and have impromptu concerts. Some people make music videos on the spot.

Here's CNN report on the project.

And heres' the project's own webpage. It's been around the world and will visit several smaller American cities. The pianos are donated when the project ends.

It just makes me happy to think of all the people sharing their music---for Julliard students to self-taught 'can't really play' kinds of folks. Music in the streets! Music for the people!
