Play Me, I’m Yours: New York City 2010
This summer, Sing for Hope takes music to the streets with Play Me, I’m Yours, a public art project that will bring 60 pianos to the parks and public spaces of New York City. From June 21 to July 5, the pianos will be be placed throughout the city’s five boroughs to be played by all who pass by — students, tourists, children, nannies, doctors, merchants, artists — in a festival of music open to all New Yorkers.
Details:
“Play Me, I’m Yours” is an artwork by British artist Luke Jerram who has been touring the project globally since 2008.
From 9am to 10pm each day, 60 pianos will be available to play across New York City. Presented by Sing for Hope they are located in public parks, streets and plazas the pianos will be available until 5th July for any member of the public to play and engage with.
Their website is made for you to post and share your films, photos and stories about the pianos. While documenting each piano’s journey, the website will connect the pianos with their individual communities across the city. Following the artwork, the pianos will be donated to local schools and community groups. To volunteer as a piano buddy with Sing for Hope, please sign up at: http://singforhope.org/buddy/
Play Me, I’m Yours is being presented simultaneously in London and New York.
