Arbin Lopez, 17, and Elizabeth Rivera, 18, play on a piano at the Santa Monica Pier which is part of a city-wide interactive art installation project entitled, “Play Me I’m Yours.”
Touring internationally since 2008, Play Me, I’m Yours is an art project by artist Luke Jerram. For three weeks Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra brings Play Me, I’m Yours to Los Angeles. Thirty pianos, designed and decorated by local artists and community organizations, are featured across Los Angeles County and are available for everyone to play, in celebration of acclaimed conductor and pianist Jeffrey Kahane’s 15th anniversary as LACO music director.
The “lunch launch” of Play Me, I’m Yours is on April 12 at 12 noon at the piano nearest you . Thirty pianists kick off the installation with a simultaneous play-in of Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier at all 30 pianos. After that, the pianos are available to you and any member of the public to play and enjoy
