The Ballad of the Piano Flower

 


The San Francisco Botanical Garden hosted an event called Flower Piano. It is one of the more unique and creative events in the Bay Area. The Botanical Garden places pianos around the gardens and people (if the pianos are open) are encouraged to play them. There are some scheduled performances but in essence the Gardens become San Francisco's alfresco concert hall where everyone is invited to play and listen:












As you can tell it was packed with tons of people and everyone had a great time.

    Lovely post...I love piano, my 10 years old son is taking piano classes with a teacher that comes to our home and I enjoy listening to him and taking part of the classes also.

    That's a great idea. I have seen pianos left at railway stations for people to play.

    Lovely. I of course like the visual of the pianos juxtaposed with the gardens, as well as imagining the music.

    Patrick,

    Your outdoor concert photos reminds me of the time we went to Cades Cove in the Smoky's where the KSO performed. They had either had a special musician as guest or maybe it was the maestro. That was more than 40-years ago, so my memory isn't the best. It was a fun experience on a beautiful day in a gorgeous location!
