Leeds Piano Trail
Under commission from Leeds International Piano Competition, ten new interactive public sculptures all made from upcycled pianos were created to form part of the award winning Leeds Piano Trail ’21.
Pianodrome are currently offering free monthly piano dismantling workshops in Leeds at Besbrode Pianos in Holbeck. The dismantled pianos will be rebuilt as planter boxes to be planted by local growing communities in Leeds during the 21st Leeds International Piano Competition this September.
If you would like to discuss an installation of the Leeds Piano Trail sculptures or new piano based sculptures of any size please get in touch.
