About World Pianos

Connecting communities through the universal language of music

We love playing public pianos, wherever, whenever. We cherish musical interaction with new communities, using carefully art-worked pianos as an opening line. Our mission is to tempt hidden musicians from 2 to 92 worldwide to come out of the woodwork and experience the joy of making music in public space.

Our Story

From a simple idea to a global movement, discover how World Pianos came to life and continues to grow.

1

The Beginning

It started with a simple observation: public pianos were appearing in cities worldwide, but there was no central way to find them. Musicians were discovering these musical gems by chance, missing countless opportunities to connect and create.

2

Building Community

We reached out to piano enthusiasts, street performers, and public art organizations. The response was overwhelming - people were eager to share their piano discoveries and connect with like-minded musicians around the world.

3

Global Expansion

Today, World Pianos connects thousands of musicians across continents. From airport lounges in Tokyo to city squares in Paris, our platform helps people discover musical opportunities wherever they travel.

Sing for Hope

Our founding partner in bringing music to communities

Powered by Sing for Hope

World Pianos is proudly created and supported by Sing for Hope, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing music and art to communities worldwide. Since 2006, Sing for Hope has been creating programs that harness the power of the arts to foster community, build bridges, and create a more hopeful world.

Through public art installations, educational programs, and community engagement initiatives, Sing for Hope has reached millions of people across six continents. Their Piano Project, which places artist-designed pianos in public spaces, directly inspired the creation of World Pianos.

Sing for Hope by the Numbers:

  • • 750+ public pianos installed worldwide
