Music is coming to the streets of Concord!

To celebrate the Concord Conservatory of Music’s 20th Anniversary, we’re bringing the joy of live music out of the concert hall and into everyday life with Pianos on the Town. In partnership with the global arts nonprofit Sing for Hope Piano(s), artist-designed pianos will appear throughout Concord and West Concord—free for anyone to play, enjoy, and discover.

From May 30 through June 26, 2026, these pianos will become open-air stages, invitations for spontaneous concerts, and colorful landmarks celebrating our town’s creative spirit.
