My Urban Piano | Ville de Luxembourg

Public pianos

As part of "My Urban Piano", public pianos are set up all over the city: anyone can sit down and play a tune. The aim is to encourage people to gather around the pianos to make and enjoy music together.

The pianos were decorated by youth centres, foyers scolaires, schools and clubs from Luxembourg City.

This project was a resounding success and is now an annual fixture in the city's cultural programme.

To liven up the streets of the city, 17 pianos will be set up all across town from 25 May to 18 June 2023: you'll find them in the city's public squares, parks, and tourist spots, as well as a range of other places.
