Piano City transforms Rome into a huge open-air stage.

For two days, established pianists and up-and-coming talents bring music to every corner of the city for a free, city-wide festival involving artists, institutions, organisations and thousands of spectators, bringing music and people together without barriers, amplification or boundaries.

In the Museum’s Auditorium, the pianist and performer Andrea Riccio – one of the rising stars of contemporary Italian piano, whose artistic exploration spans different eras and styles, linking early and contemporary music with performative and interdisciplinary practices – will perform a selection of études for solo piano composed by Philip Glass, universally regarded as one of the founding fathers of American minimalism.
