Purchase a piano from Steinway Gallery Miami by Nov 30th and mention Pop-Up-Piano-Miami and we will donate a percentage of the sale to the PUPM foundation. Lets help bring music back to our community and the next generation!
Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your blog posts. After all I’ll be subscribing to your rss feed and I hope you write again soon!
thanks for a nice list! I’m wondering if they’ll give us some idea of where the popup piano performances will happen. Do you have any info on that?
As of right now it’s too early for that information. Keep checking back to our page, we will be updating frequently.
Hello I’m part of the Pop-Up Piano Miami team and I just posted the schedule with locations, etc.. on our site and on the FB page.. popuppianomia.com See you out there!
