20170826 Playin' Around South Orange Piano Project - SOPAC
Playin’ Around South Orange – #SOPianos – is a public art project that highlights both the visual and the performing arts. Pianos transformed into works of art by extraordinary local artists provide unexpected and delightful encounters and encourage active arts engagement in our day-to-day lives through the spontaneous making of music. We hope that the keys of the pianos are ‘tickled’ every day bringing joy to all who experience them.
This year the community jam around the Piano will have a featured Pianist playing tunes and having fun with local folks between the hours o of 5 and 6 at the South Orange Gazebo.
Gregory Burrus who manages the SOVCA Downtown After Sundown Live Music Concerts on Friday and Saturday evenings and the Wednesday South Orange Farmers Market Jazz Jam will work with SOPAC and select a Pianist to play some tunes. Thi #SOPianos time is for folks who may stop by to sing a tune or two and just have some fun.
Directly after #SOPianos time, the regular South Orange Farmers market will swing into playing and jamming. This #SOPianos community time will happen every Wed between 5 and 6 PM for the month of Sept.
In addition this year Gregory is actively seeking a home for each Piano once the SOPAC Playing Around South Orange Piano Project comes to a close on the last day of Sept. Stay tuned more to come on this story.
