A personal note from Lee:

Corvallis is a special place to me. It is where I call home. It is where I chose to put down roots and raise a family. It is where I wear a smile and have awesome days. Last fall, while traveling in Boston and the year prior in Fort Collins, I was exposed to the inspiring idea of having music in the streets - through pianos! After much thought and consideration my kids and I decided to bring this idea to Corvallis.

It is with great joy that I get to share with you Play Corvallis, Play. On August 6th, we placed 8 free-play pianos around Corvallis that were painted with passion by our community! All the pianos were donated to the program to help the streets of Corvallis be filled with wonderful sounds (and art!). The pianos will be on the streets until August 20th for all to enjoy. We really hope to see some great photos, videos, and stories uploaded to our Facebook page at: www.Facebook.com/PlayCorvallisPlay


A special thanks to CIMA - Corvallis Imagination, Music, and Art - for their support in making this project happen. Without their support and mission we would not have pulled it off! Be sure to check out their webpage at www.cimafestival.com and check out the festival on August 15th and 16th at Starker Arts Park. Just another reason Corvallis is amazing!
