Düsseldorf Advances Musical Festival with "City Pianos" Performances Preview
In the heart of the state capital, the city pianos are making a comeback, joining the lineup of the Asphalt Festival 2022. These musical instruments, installed at Heinrich-Heine-Allee and Oberbilker Markt U-Bahn stations, have been a cherished part of the "Summer Festival of the Arts" for many years.
This year marks the 13th edition of the Asphalt Festival, a vibrant celebration of theatre, dance, concerts, and literature, taking place from the 8th to the 27th of July. The city pianos, in cooperation with Rheinbahn, have been a significant part of the festival's atmosphere, offering an opportunity for passers-by to pause, sit down at the keys, or listen to others playing in the usually hectic bustle of the U-Bahn stations.
During the festival years 2017, 2018, and 2019, the city pianos were particularly popular, with music being played almost continuously. Musicians and singers often gathered around the pianos for joint sessions and spontaneous concerts, adding a unique and lively touch to the festival.
This year, the city pianos are once again open for public use until the end of the Asphalt Festival. With the "Summer Festival of the Arts" set to start in two weeks and continuing until the festival's conclusion, there will be plenty of opportunities for people to engage with these musical instruments.
The city pianos are accessible to all, inviting people to play music and contribute to the festive atmosphere. Whether you're a seasoned musician or a beginner, the city pianos provide a platform for everyone to share their love for music. So, if you find yourself in the state capital during the Asphalt Festival, be sure to visit the city pianos at Heinrich-Heine-Allee and Oberbilker Markt U-Bahn stations and join in the musical celebration.
The city pianos, embedded in the vibrant ambiance of the Asphalt Festival, offer an opportunity for individuals to indulge in a fusion of lifestyle and fashion-and-beauty, presenting a unique backdrop for impromptu performances within the heart of the city. Moreover, the home-and-garden section of the festival could also benefit from the melodious serenity that the city pianos bring, creating a harmonious environment for all festival-goers.
