Play Me, I'm Yours - Coming to an End

It’s been a real treat these past three weeks for public piano playing here in the Los Angeles area. Thirty pianos, designed and decorated by artists, musicians, and community groups, have been displayed publicly across Los Angeles County for everyone to play. The event has been billed as a celebration of Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra‘s conductor Jeffrey Kahane’s 15th anniversary as LACO music director. A souvenier poster can be downloaded here.

The official last day of the installation was yesterday. Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra will begin removing pianos today, May 4, and continue through Tuesday, May 8. Our understanding is that not all the pianos will disappear at once, but the last of them will be removed on Tuesday, May 8 2012.
