Unleashing the talents of closet musos on Sydney earlier this year, the Play Me I’m Yours street piano spectacular is taking London by storm for the next fortnight.
Sing London and the City of London Festival have offered up 30 pianos for the joyous tinkling of the people, in parks, train stations and an array of other public areas. Anyone can approach the keys, but if you’d prefer to enjoy the talents of others, rather than marvel the crowds with a rendition of Chopsticks, check out the pile of free events on offer here. There’s everything from collaborations with a kazoo orchestra, to performances by the London Symphony Orchestra.
Be quick though, the pianos are only in town until July 13; after that they’ll be donated to local schools and community groups.
