And Now, a Word from Our Sponsor
































Dear Friends,

I want to thank you once again for partnering with Celebrity Series on Street Pianos Boston. We are especially grateful to you and your teams for all your help in making the festival run so smoothly, and for your flexibility in protecting the pianos throughout rainy days we encountered. 

Despite the challenging weather, we are very pleased with the delight these pianos brought to our hometown and the sense of community Street Pianos Boston 2016 generated — we hope you are, too! We heard from many of you that the pianos have encouraged people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to gather together and create moments of engagement in each neighborhood of Boston and many parts of Cambridge. In addition, we have seen an enthusiastic online conversation on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, with thousands of photos and videos from the general public—all using the hashtag #streetpianosboston. 

I'm pleased that our organizations are working together on this project. I hope we can do so again, as we not only plan to continue more public projects in the coming years, but also plan to continue growing our Neighborhood Arts and community engagement initiatives across Boston. 

How did Street Pianos Boston impact your community? We'll be issuing a summary report on Street Pianos Boston 2016 in the coming weeks and we’d love to hear from you about your experiences. Feel free to reply to this email.

Once again, thank you for your support of Street Pianos Boston and Celebrity Series.

Warm wishes, 

Gary Dunning
President & Executive Director
Celebrity Series of Boston
