Piano Day, 2017 – in honour of Leonard Cohen

On March 29, 2017, Spike brought Piano Day – a new global initiative celebrated on the 88th day of the year to draw attention to the pianos in our midst and the people who love them – to Montreal. Together with radio station CKUT, The Harmonist presented a Piano Day event at Sala Rossa, featuring the music of Montreal poet/hero Leonard Cohen in a benefit fundraiser for a new used piano for the street youth outreach centre Dans La Rue. The event was a fundraising success, as well as a memorable and crowd-pleasing evening. Another Piano Day event, under a new theme, is planned for March 29, 2019.
