Mission Viejo’s Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center will be one of 20 sites in Orange County to feature a hand-painted piano that is part of the Pacific Symphony’s “OC Can You Play” program that kicks off Friday.
The program, which is three-week public pianos project through Feb. 6, features 20 colorfully painted pianos on display for anyone to enjoy and play.
“OC Can You Play?” offers the community different contests—from a “Piano Scavenger Hunt” (visit all 20 pianos for a chance to win season tickets—or visit three pianos for 20 percent off a ticket purchase) to “Best Video” (capture a performance on video and win tickets to an upcoming concert). Residents can keep up with all the contests, scheduled performances and activities at www.pacificsymphony.org/OCCanUPlay.
In Mission Viejo, the beautiful piano will be nestled within the Norman P. Murray Community Center at 24932 Veterans Way for visitors to play and listen to others play. From Chopsticks to Chopin, Bach to the Beatles, the program invites residents to reconnect to their musical souls. On certain days, the center will host “piano mobs” to encourage community members to learn, play, have fun and meet new people.
