Come on down to the KPFA downtown Berkeley studio (1929 Martin Luther King jr. Way) and get a chance to play for KPFA’s world-wide audience! Inspired by the “Street Pianos” phenomenon in France and elsewhere, and the wildly successful “Flower Piano” event at the San Francisco Botanical Garden, in collaboration with Sunset PianoOpen Piano will host pianists of all ages and musical genres on starting at 8 a.m. No advance sign-up required.

Pianists will get the opportunity to play on KPFA’s lovely Yamaha, semi-concert-grand piano.

Special thanks to Callahan Piano for tuning our piano this week to ready it for today’s workout.
