Play Us A Tune: Peabody Public Pianos Return

PEABODY, MA – Play Us A Tune, Peabody's public painted piano program, has returned after its inaugural year. Pianos painted by artists are stationed around downtown Peabody for anyone to play.

The pianos are in Peabody Square under the monument, in front of Sports Collectibles, Santoro's of Peabody, the Peabody Institute Library, and Breaking Grounds Cafe.

Pedro Soto, a Peabody City Planner, said the program is back by popular demand. Residents made it known to organizers – Peabody Main Streets, Peabody Cultural Collaborative, Opportunity Peabody, and City of Peabody – that Play Us A Tune was something they really enjoyed.

The artists this year are Bruce Orr, Emily Kwong, Desiree Ferreras, and several artists with Arcworks. North Shore Bank, Lahey Clinic, Law Office of Jason Panos, Rousselot, and the Peabody Institute Library are sponsoring the program.

Gentile Pianos in Boston provided the pianos.
