Tip of the day – Piano City Athens

• May 12, 2023

Piano City Athens will transform the city into an impromptu 7-day piano playground. It’s the first city-wide festival in Athens. After inspiring thousands of people in Berlin, Milan and other global metropolises, Piano City is now making its way to Athens.

A project for the city that since the beginning has been characterized as a project of and with the city thanks to an innovative working method which involves institutions, artists, associations, network and partners.

Piano City Athens does not wait for an audience but reaches out in the squares, in people’s homes in unconventional venues; this diffusion does concentrate the attention on the city center but peacefully invades the entire urban landscape. It brings people of all classes and interests together through music on a very personal level…

What will happen at Piano City Athens? – 7 days full of music!

Free piano concerts in public and private spaces – at the airport, in parks, museums, squares, conservatories, and at the most unexpected locations.

Special events

House concerts – Virtuoso pianists and amateurs will open their homes and hearts to the public.
