For the fifth time in a row, "My Urban Piano Trier" will transform the city of Trier into a colourful musical stage from 13.09. to 22.09.2024.
The concept is simply ingenious: artistically designed pianos - freshly tuned and ready to play - are placed freely accessible throughout the city and invite everyone to play.
"My Urban Piano Trier" stands for active civic participation - both musically and visually. The pianos are lovingly painted and designed by local artists, non-profit organisations and creative minds. Both professional artists and amateurs have the opportunity to present their sounding works of art in prominent city centre locations. Every year, up to five new pianos are added to the existing stock. These fully functional, used instruments are donated to us in kind by our co-initiator and co-operation partner "Piano Hübner". Piano Hübner also takes care of tuning the instruments. In this way, new, unique sounding works of art are created every year.
In 2024, we want to think beyond borders with our partners from "AG Kultur der Großregion" and "Trifolion Echternach"! Against the picturesque backdrop of the Domfreihof, we will be presenting artists from different countries in the Greater Region on several concert evenings. Each evening is dedicated to a different region and showcases musical diversity. At a producing session, artists from the Greater Region come together to sample and present a song. Another special highlight is the collaborative Urban Piano, which is created together with artists and guests on each concert evening. At the end of the concert series, we will have created a unique Greater Region piano.
Our aim is to create low-threshold and consumption-free meeting spaces. For this reason, admission to our events is voluntary. Guests may also bring their own drinks. The voluntary entrance fee (recommended: €15) can be paid on site.
In co-operation with the Piano house Marcus Hübner and the Trifolion Echternach.
