World Piano Day 2020
Piano Day, an annual worldwide event founded by a group of likeminded people, takes place on the 88th day of the year – in 2020 it’s the 28th March – because of the number of keys on the instrument being celebrated.
“Why does the world need a Piano Day? For many reasons. But mostly, because it doesn’t hurt to celebrate the piano and everything around it: performers, composers, piano builders, tuners, movers and most important, the listener.” – Nils Frahm

In Sweden, we have the cinnamon bun day, so I definitely think the piano deserves to have its own day!! I enjoyed the broadcast, please post about this again the next year.
