A performance opportunity for all pianists

Bristol Open Piano Platform is a very relaxed and friendly chance for pianists of all ages and at all stages to flex their performance muscles playing a grand piano in the delightful concert hall of Bristol Music Club (Clifton)

Send in your chosen piece(s) by Wednesday 20th March

… will start at 10am on Sunday March 24th 2024

Start planning your next performance! And remember that the Open Piano Platform is a VERY relaxed and friendly opportunity for budding pianists to flex their performance muscles playing a grand piano in a small concert hall. Participants also get to experience Bristol Music Club (Clifton) which many will (come to) know through ABRSM music exams!

Musicians of all ages have nothing to lose and so much to gain from sharing their music making.  The Open Piano Platform really is for ALL pianists – absolute beginners to diploma level.
