Дата: 12-12-18 12:44PLAY IT AGAIN SAM? DUBLIN AIRPORT INVITES PASSENGERS TO PLAY ITS NEW PIANOThe Arrivals Hall in Terminal 1 at Dublin Airport is now home to a Schiller upright piano, which has been installed to encourage people of all ages and abilities to play. Donated by John Murphy of Murphy’s Piano Tuning & Repair, who in turn received it as a donation from the family of Margaret Costello, the piano is a novel way of treating all airport users to random musical performances.
“The randomness of performances is what makes this piano so special and it brings a smile to so many peoples’ faces. “I am delighted Dublin Airport is hosting this piano in Terminal 1, as it is the perfect place for it. I want to encourage people from all around the globe to sit, play and enjoy the music of this wonderful instrument,” he enthused. As the piano is in Arrivals it can be played both by passengers and by friends and family who are there to greet them. The installation of the piano is the latest element in Dublin Airport’s Sense of Place project, which aims to allow passengers, whether arriving or departing, to experience Ireland while still at the airport. Other installations in the series include Vibrant Irish Light, an eye-catching spectrum of rainbow colours located between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, the Irish Wildlife exhibition in Pier 2, and All in A Name – a history of Irish names at the South Gates. “Adding a musical element to our sense of place installations ensures that we are displaying not only Ireland’s vibrant visual, natural and historic beauty but also the music and song that Irish people are famous for,” says Harrison. Those who play Dublin Airport’s Piano are invited to share pictures and videos on social media using the hashtag #DublinAirportPiano and to tag @DublinAirport and @murphypianotuning in their posts.
