Join us to celebrate International Piano Day on March 29th with THREE CONCERTS in one day... see below for details on all three concerts. (7am, 12pm and 8pm)
PIANO DAY:
"Piano Day, an annual worldwide event founded by a group of likeminded people, takes place on the 88th day of the year – in 2017 it’s the 29th March – because of the number of keys on the instrument being celebrated.
The aim of the day is to create a platform for piano related projects in order to promote the development of musical dimensions and to continue sharing the centuries-old joy of playing piano. Piano Day welcomes all kinds of piano lovers — young and old, amateur and professional, of any musical direction – to join in this years festivities. It is intended to be the most joyful of all holidays!"
