Wort's piano man gives public concert

A Luxembourg music teacher provided a bit of light entertainment in the capital on Thursday when he performed Elton John's 'Your Song' on outdoor pianos for the Wort.

During the course of the afternoon, Pit Heyart visited four pianos from the My Urban Piano project: at “rue de la Reine”, “Place des Martyrs”, “Cité Judiciaire” and the Abbaye Neimënster, in the capital.

Passersby stopped to listen as the teacher from Luxembourg City's Conservatoire deftly handled the keys, not all of which were working, or in tune.

A total of 15 pianos, including one mobile piano, are dotted around the capital for the project, which concludes on June 21.

On the last day, a small concert will be given in the courtyard of the “Cité Judiciaire” from 3pm. It will last one hour and admission is free.
