Report this commentRoy Imperio plays Chopin. Thank you, Roy. This was the encore to my chamber music concert. What a gift. Such music out of this old piano...

What shall I play? I went to the park one afternoon and watched a bunch of children play the piano I painted. It was so rewarding to hear them so excited to want to play music. This has been such an amazing experience. Music should be around us all the time. Pianos should be planted everywhere for everyone to play. Bravo, Luke Jerram.

10-13-2013 - Piano 40/40
This was the last public piano I played. I chose it because Nancy-Lee actually messaged me on my tumblr feed, and I wanted to play her piano before they were all gone. It was so beautiful!
For the first time during this whole project, I did an improvisation with my left hand only. It was getting late, so you can't see much from the video except the light from my phone and the pink Pru in the background, but you'll also see my watch glinting in the half-light.
I was so sad to see this installation come to an end. I hope that someday "Play Me I'm Yours" comes back to Boston, and I'm taking inspiration from it to make more public music on my own.
