Sorin Bica's Piano for the People
In 2016, Sorin Bica was invited to design a piano for Street Pianos Boston. Touring internationally since 2008, Play Me, I’m Yours is a public art project by British artist Luke Jerram. More than 1,500 pianos have now been installed in 50 cities across the globe, from London to Hong Kong, bearing the simple invitation Play Me, I’m Yours. The project has already reached more than ten million people worldwide.
Celebrity Series of Boston was thrilled to bring Street Pianos Boston back to the city from September 23 to October 10, 2016. Previously seen in 2013, the project led to an outpouring of joy and community-building, and anticipation was rightly high for the project’s return! During this time, 60 street pianos—all decorated by local artists and community groups—were available for anyone to play and enjoy. The hashtag for the project is #streetpianosboston, and for an interactive mobile map of the piano locations, download the free Beam.in app for iOS.
