Public Pianos Return to Boston's Streets This September

Boston, MA - Stretch those fingers and bust out the sheet music, Boston, because the popular street pianos are returning this fall.

The Boston Celebrity Series installed the artfully decorated pianos around town in 2013, inviting the public to sit down and tickle the ivories as part of artist Luke Jerram's international "Play Me, I'm Yours" series.

From Sept. 23 - Oct. 10, the Celebrity Series is bringing the music back, with 60 pianos scattered across every Boston neighborhood, according to their site.

Want to get involved? The Celebrity series is currently seeking "piano buddies," organizations who can provide a physical location for the instruments and minders who will cover the piano in bad weather, report any damages, and lock the keyboard at night.

They're also seeking piano decorators, and upright people willing to donate an upright piano to the cause.

Timelines and application details are on the Celebrity Series site, here.
