Toronto Street Pianothon - Maple Leaf Rag played on 20 Pianos

On Friday, July 13, 2012, I set out on a mission to play 20 of the street pianos that have been placed across the city of Toronto. I was accompanied by my friend and cameraman, Alex Blagrove. In just under 12 hours, we accomplished our goal. I played Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag" on every piano to make this compilation.

Also check out this medley of other songs I played: http://youtu.be/C-AoPG94tN4

We were even interviewed by Mark McAllister from Global News Toronto!

As part of the international project "Play Me, I'm Yours," 41 pianos have been placed across the city. This installation is part of the 3-year countdown to the 2015 Pan-Am Games in Toronto. Each piano represents one of the 41 participating countries in the Pan-Am Games.

The street pianos are available for anyone to play until July 31, 2012. Visit http://streetpianos.ca/toronto2012 for more details and to view the locations of the pianos.
