We are finally here and our glorious public pianos ready for everyone to play over the weekend! 😍 Happy PARK(ing) Day Singapore 🇸🇬 Come on down to Aliwal Arts Centre till 20 September to unleash your fingers!

Our artist, Billy Soh, putting the finishing touches on the public piano.

Finally, we are doing this! As part of Park(ing) Day Singapore on 18 September, Play it Forward (SG) will be collaborating with local artists to refurbish two old pianos and give them a second lease of life. These spruced-up pianos will be parked at the Aliwal Arts Centre courtyard for anyone to play over the weekend. After which, the pianos would be donated to needy homes and institutions where they can continue to bring the joy of music to others. Everyone is invited. Stay tuned for more progress updates and happenings at our Facebook page!
