PIANOS IN THE PARKS

Pianos in the Parks offers everyone the opportunity to play a piano outdoors this summer.

Six pianos will be placed in parks across the city on June 21st as part of Make Music Chicago—the day-long, citywide, DIY celebration of the musician in us all—and are available for anyone to play until August 1st.

If you’ve never played before but want to try it out you can stop by for a free introductory lesson during one of the scheduled times. Or if you have some experience already, feel free to sit down and tickle the ivories any time during each park’s opening hours.

Pianos in the Parks is presented in partnership with the Chicago Park District as part of their Night Out in the Parks program. We would also like to thank Alden’s Piano Company for their generous in-kind support.

2023 locations will be announced in the spring.
