Pianovan Adventure①：Planning
I will be driving a “pianovan” – an upright piano in a van – around the San Francisco Bay Area between Monday, Nov. 15 to Friday, Nov. 19th to try to reach isolated and/or underserved communities with the power of music that I believe can help. If you want to join me in my adventure in any way let me know! I welcome all questions, suggestions, connections, collaborations, volunteers, donations, bed/rooms, etc.!!
