Castlemaine Piano Guerrillas

Duration: 21 March-6 April

The Maine Piano Guerrillas are coming to Castlemaine Fringe 2025!

During Castlemaine Fringe 2025 (21 March-6 April), The Coolroom at the Northern Arts Hotel are joining forces with an underground piano movement to put donated upright pianos in prominent locations around town to encourage a new movement targeting the spontaneous mellifluous, mesmerising and melodious machinations of music in public places.

The Program will open on Friday 21 March with a launch of a piano music melange at the Northern Arts Hotel and end with a public perfectly played piano concert at The Coolroom on Sunday 6 April. In between, we will perpetuate piano mayhem!

• So do you have an upright piano sitting in the corner gathering dust that could be put to better use?
• Do you have a public location which has a suitable uncover area – in Castlemaine, Campbells Creek, Chewton, Newstead, Taradale, that could be enhanced by the addition of a public piano.
• Can you help us set move and install pianos? Or have good ideas to offer us?
• Are you a community musician, choir, or small group that would love to be part of our planned and or spontaneous program?
