2011

Il 16 dicembre 2011 è il giorno del preludio di Piano City Milano.
Era una gelida notte d'inverno alla caserma Mascheroni e una maratona musicale di trenta pianisti anticipava Piano City Milano.

2012

Qualche mese dopo, a maggio 2012, con i Piano Twelve, Vinicio Capossela e un pianoforte bagnato, s’inaugurava la prima edizione della manifestazione. Era la prima volta che tanti cittadini aprivano le proprie case per ospitare un concerto e invitare i milanesi a partecipare a un nuovo tipo di ascolto e socialità.

2013

Un’orchestra di 21 pianoforti apriva nel 2013 il festival alla Rotonda della Besana con la sinfonia per 1848 tasti di Daniele Lombardi.

2014

Nel 2014 Le Piano Africain di Ludovico Einaudi con otto musicisti su un'impalcatura di tre piani al Parco Sempione dava il via alla terza edizione di Piano City Milano. Un grande evento rimasto nel cuore di tutto il pubblico di Milano.

House concerts and Yards
Milanese people open the doors of their houses and the gates of their yards creating a social and sharing occasion. Someone prepares some sneak or a tea and an unusual listening experience to live together.

Diffuse concerts
Piano City Milano means bringing music everywhere, above all in areas which normally don't host any concert, turning the visual fields upside down and turning Milano into a great concert hall. Pianos will be hosted by the most characteristic Milanese corners thanks to City Concerts, produced and ideated by Piano City Milano for its audience. The Guest Concerts are all those appointments which are self-produced, proposed and organized by various realities such as schools and associations. For the little ones (from 0 to 12) Piano Kids: events, workshops and lessons for children.

Once upon a time...

December 16, 2011. It was an icy winter night

At caserma Mascheroni, a music marathon played by 30 pianists was the prelude of Piano City Milano

A few months later, in May, 2012, Piano Twelve, Vinicio Capossela and a “rain-soaked” piano opened the first Piano City Milano event. For the first time ever, many citizens opened the door of their homes to host a concert and invited the people of Milan to enjoy a new kind of listening and socializing experience.
Following the same method, through the years we wandered around town looking for new and unusual ways to describe the city: thanks to this vision, pianos got on trams and climbed up roofs, they rode through town on piano-bikes and boats played music as they sailed along the Navigli.
Once again this year, pianos will take over homes, courtyards, train stations, trams, boats, museums, parks and schools, and they will turn Milan into a single, huge open-air stage.
