Founded by Megan McGeorge in 2012, Piano Push Play invites local artists to transform old, donated pianos into whimsical works of art. Each instrument is named and emblazoned with the words “Please Play Me” before being transported to a temporary home in a local park, plaza or food cart pod.
By distributing the pianos across the city, McGeorge hopes to give musicians of all ages and abilities a space to showcase their skills. After they’ve done their time on the streets, the pianos are donated to schools and community centers to keep the music flowing all year.
July 10 is the opening concert, where all the pianos are brought together at Director Park for an evening of fun, celebration and pianos.
