Play Me, I'm Yours

Los Angeles: 2012

Touring internationally since 2008, Play Me, I’m Yours is artwork by British artist Luke Jerram. More than 600 pianos have now been installed in 26 cities across the globe, from New York to Sydney and now Los Angeles, bearing the simple invitation ‘Play Me, I’m Yours.’ The project has reached more than two million people worldwide, with each new city that commissions the work becoming part of a growing legacy.

For three weeks from April 12 to May 3 2012 Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra brought Play Me, I’m Yours to Los Angeles. Thirty pianos, designed and decorated by local artists and community organizations, were installed across Los Angeles County for everyone to play, in celebration of acclaimed conductor and pianist Jeffrey Kahane’s 15th anniversary as LACO music director. Visit laco.org to learn more about Jeffrey and the Orchestra, and click here to download a souvenir poster (pdf), that includes a map of where the pianos were located.

Chanced upon this beautiful piano at the Variety Bldg. on Wilshire Blvd and couldn't resist the lure of it!!! Had to play one of my favorite tunes from Stevie Wonder, Overjoyed....i guess i played it a bit too fast. I was just really excited, happy and nervous at the same time!!! Hope the pianos come back to LA again soon!!!
