Description
Pianos in the Parks offers everyone the opportunity to play piano outdoors this summer! Eight pianos will be placed in parks across the city on June 21st as part of Make Music Chicago—the day-long, citywide, celebration of the musician in us all—and are available for anyone to play until July 31st. 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. If you have some experience already, feel free to sit down and tickle the ivories any time during each park’s opening hours. Sit down and Play at Bessemer Park, Brighton Park Community Campus (Park 596), Gill Park, Jackson Park, Margate Park, McKinley Park, the South Shore Cultural Center, and Washington Square Park! https://makemusicchicago.org
