Montreal's Public Outdoor Pianos Are Taking Over The City This Summer
Public pianos are back again this year in Montreal to fill the city with improvised and impromptu musical performances. This year marks the 4th year that the city has installed public pianos decorated by various artists all over the city.
The pianos are are available every day from 10am to 8pm and anyone can play them. As a bonus, on August 20th at noon, the second edition of the Pianos Publics au Diapason will take place. That's the day where every piano in the plateau will be playing the same song at the same time! This year there is a new piano that will be added to the collection, one of those old mechanical pianos with the long perforated rolls of paper that play automatically will be circulated around the different boroughs throughout the summer.
