Have you heard about Piano Day? Created six years ago by composer and pianist Nils Frahm, the goal is simple: For one day - on March 29 - piano lovers are gathered for a day focusing on this instrument in all its shapes. So, why March 29 you may wonder… Simply because it has been exactly 88 days since the year started and it is the number of keys on a piano.
To honor Piano Day, ARTE Concert and Sourdoreille Production have chosen to take over the faculté des Sciences de Sorbonne Université in Paris to provide you with a 100% piano day. Although performances will air this March 29 on ARTE Concert, concerts are to be recorded on March 1 from 6:30 p.m. Only a few privileged people will be able to attend it (upon invitation via contests).
Moving on to the lineup, the different spaces of the college will welcome live performances by Hania Rani, Bachar Mar-Khalifé & Meryem Aboulouafa (creation), Dombrance and Baptiste Trotignon & Arthur Téboul (creation).
For the record, last year, Piano Day welcomed artists as talented as Sofiane Pamart, Alexandre Kantorow and Macha Gharibian at the Théâtre de l'Epée de Bois.
Lineup:
Note that all those performances will be recorded on March 1, 2022, and will stream on March 29 at ARTE Concert.
