One Christmas, Will asks Father Christmas for a space rocket. Instead, he gets a piano. Despite his initial disappointment, Will realises that his new gift might even be better – now he can travel wherever and whenever he wants. In Anatomy of the Piano (for beginners) we join Will on a fantastical musical adventure through space and time, finding out where pianos come from, how they evolved; experiencing Beethoven’s bad moods, Bach’s cave piano and jamming with Fats Waller along the way.
Will Pickvance’s acclaimed family show, Anatomy of the Piano (for beginners) returns to the Fringe, taking audiences on an entertaining, musical journey through piano history. The performance combines brilliantly played piano music with a fascinating exploration of the instrument Will loves.
An Edinburgh-based pianist, storyteller and renowned Fringe performer; Will Pickvance has an infectious passion for inspiring audiences of all ages to enjoy and make music.
This show is a hugely entertaining celebration of the piano, enthralling audiences of all ages. Will’s inspirational love of music and his impressive self-taught piano skills will encourage and entice the musician within us all.
