The Hidden Pianos of Golden Gate Park

Sunset Piano brings its public piano project to the SF Botanical Garden this summer for twelve days only from July 9 – 20, 2015. The Garden becomes the city’s own outdoor concert hall and everyone is invited to play and listen.

You are encouraged to seek out one of the twelve pianos tucked among the many flower-filled gardens within SFBG’s 55 acres and play what you like, from Bach to boogie-woogie. It’s all first come first served to the pianos

Flower Piano is the latest project of piano ninjas Mauro ffortissimo and Dean Mermell who together launched Sunset Piano in 2013 when ffortissimo covertly rolled an old grand piano onto the bluffs over Half Moon Bay. Since then, Sunset Piano has expanded this impromptu musical and social experiment, temporarily placing pianos in a wide variety of unexpected natural and urban settings around the Bay Area every year, from the top of Montara Mountain to Market Street.
