Piano Day 2024, at the Space Pop-up Venue, Pier Street, Hull, HU1 1TU
March 28th 2024, 10am-10pm
Piano Day is to be celebrated in Hull for the first time! The newly-formed Humber St Piano Sessions will host a day of FREE events and performances celebrating the piano and the people who play it.
Members of the public of all ages are invited to come and play a tune as part of a mini piano trail on Humber Street and at the train station in Hull. In the afternoon, piano students from across the region will share their love of the instrument in series of short, informal performances. So, if you play the piano – come and join us and play us a tune! Or, if you like all things piano, attend one of our performances. All events are FREE.
There are opportunities across the whole day for people to come and play us a tune – so if you play the piano, or know someone who does, come down to Humber St and make some music and listen to others play. The day will culminate in the world première of a new piece by the exceptional Zoe Rahman, commissioned in partnership with Hull Jazz Festival especially for Hull and for this Piano Day celebration.
Other featured artists include classical piano duo from Hull and Hedon Graziana Presicce and Amy Butler, fearless improvising pianist Matthew Bourne, neo-classical and skewed-pop pianist and vocalist t l k, along with ambient and lofi-obsessed collaborators Mark Slater and Stewart Baxter.
