PIANO DAY & THE FUTUR
For many reasons. But mostly, because it doesn’t hurt to celebrate the piano and everything around it: performers, composers, piano builders, tuners, movers and most important, the listener.” – Nils Frahm
Piano Day, an annual worldwide gathering of events which takes place on the 88th day of the year because this is the number of keys on the instrument being celebrated. Launched in 2015, more information on www.pianoday.org

The 88 Notes and Piano Day, since 2017
From live events to playlist curation and additions, 2024 marked the 8th edition of our celebration of Piano Day. We promoted our love for piano music by featuring a 2-hour exclusive mix curated by myself. The 88 Notes is an amazing gathering of electronic and classical producers who unite to share their passion for the piano. Through their collaborative effort, they have crafted a beautiful collection of tracks that showcase the power and emotion of the piano. Each track is unique and will leave you feeling inspired and moved. Let's celebrate the past, present, and future.
