We rescue pianos and put them on the street for everybody to enjoy.

Piano. Push. Play. began with two objectives: to give the public a new, exciting way to share their talent and hard work,
and to give the public a chance to experience music outside of the typical concert hall.  

This outreach project is about developing more ways for people to see, hear and enjoy the piano in action. It began as a pop-up concert series with one piano on one street corner -- created to break down the barrier between performers and audience members, between professional musicians and students, amateurs and those who just enjoy listening.

We want to give pianists more opportunities to play for the public.

Stay in touch!

Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to hear the latest and follow the pianos on their journeys around the Portland area. Here are some of the highlights of our Instagram photos:

Found some cuties playing at @portlandartmuseum yesterday on our @deadstockcoffee piano- first fella was playing for hours!! All the Chopin and Debussy and the French impressionists - the second little lady was being very careful and playing one or two notes at a time 😉😉😉 you gotta start somewhere! We’ve got a student recital concert tonight at 7pm- right at this very piano - free and open to all 🎹🧡
Wow- what a journey this piano has been on - from centerstage at our kickoff - to the top of the gorgeous @societyhotel - to even further atop Portland at the Mt. Tabor summit- this Piano will soon be going underground for the weekend as a part of what will surely be an incredible evening of music and song- Songs from the Shadows - is a collaboration between local songwriters and the women of @rahabs.sisters - we will be underground in the Shanghai Tunnels with this piano performing songs based on the lives of those women who have been sexually abused or trafficked in the effort to bring awareness and light to the fact that these things are happening and still happening right in our city and around the world every day every minute - We are so proud to be involved in another opportunity to bring communities together, share stories and make change thru music making. Two nights only- So please - purchase your tickets now!!
Excited to share some upcoming events where we will be highlighting this beautiful piano- for now you can visit/play it over at the @societyhotel rooftop :) just tell them you’re there to play the piano and they’ll let you up! Thanks to @neilmperry for making such a meaningful and timely piece of art 📷 by @benji_vuong 🧡🙏🏼

We believe that by exposing people to the visual and auditory experience of the piano,
we are reminded of how magical and vital music is.
