Clarksville is alive with the sound of music!

The sound of hammers, jackhammers and big machinery have filled Clarksville air!  Music has just arrived in downtown, bringing the beautiful sound of music.

Friday morning, 11-year-old Jace Lesko played the piano under the gazebo right next to city hall. Later, piano teacher Tiffany Hillicker took over the keys. Different people took over playing throughout the day. Some were professional musicians. Others had never touched a piano before.

The street piano is a partnership between the Gateway Chamber Orchestra and artists with the Downtown Artist Co-op. The piano itself is actually a work of art! The artists who painted the piano with Clarksville iconography included Jennifer Pierstorff, Jackie Lewis, and Annalee Parker.

Anybody can just walk up and play this beautiful piano!  The piano will stay at the gazebo outside city hall for the next few days, but it will eventually be moving to other spots around the city.
