How often does one come across a piano on Mesogeion Avenue?
Recognizing the multiple health benefits of music, Henry Dunant is participating in Piano City Athens for a third year in a row. At the hospital entrance, a piano invites people to a musical experience.
For a single day, on Thursday, May 17 from 11:00 to 13:30, the main entrance of the hospital will be immersed in melodies that will “speak” ... therapeutic words to the hearts and minds of those who will attend.
The outdoor area at the entrance of the Henry Dunant hospital will be filled with melodies that have accompanied some of cinema’s most romantic moments. Alexis Stenakis and his piano will bring to life the music we love and narrate stories full of emotion, some well-known, others less so. In a part of the city where life takes center stage,
Composers such as M. Theodorakis, Yann Tiersen, Henry Mancini, and others, will add their own power of creation and light.
What is Piano City Athens?
Having inspired thousands of people in Berlin, New York, Milan, and other metropolises of the world, Piano City® has also become an institution in Athens.
A festival for Athens, organized from the outset "by" and "with" the city through an innovative process involving institutions, artists, associations, networks, and partners.
At Piano City Athens, music does not wait for the audience — it finds its way into public squares, living rooms, and unconventional places. The sound of the piano flow through the city, reshaping the entire urban landscape.
Through the piano, Piano City Athens brings people of all backgrounds together through music, speaking directly to their soul.
Piano virtuosos and amateurs from all over the city will open their homes and hearts to the general public. They will show their skill by giving small piano concerts in their homes with a repertoire ranging from classical to modern. Piano enthusiasts, as well as the general public, will have a unique opportunity to enjoy these melodic experiences.
Athens becomes part of the Piano City music movement!
Piano CITY® was launched by Andreas Kern, an artist and visionary from Berlin, Germany. His idea brings together people from all over the world - through music. With Berlin as the starting city, his idea shows us that every city is a place where music and culture are valued, supported and enjoyed: not only internationally, but also on a broad private level.
