About: Piano Day

An Entity of Type: societal event, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Piano Day is held on the 88th day of the year (March 28th in normal years and March 29th in leap years) in celebration of and reference to the 88 keys on a standard piano. From an idea by the German pianist and composer Nils Frahm in 2015 "because it doesn’t hurt to celebrate the piano and everything around it: performers, composers, piano builders, tuners, movers and most important, the listener", the event has grown in subsequent years with amateur and commercial success. In 2015 the Piano Day team announced the construction of a vertical concert grand piano, the Klavins M450.
