In the same way that overnight in Madrid, the following can appear book-shaped benches musical instruments can also do so. More specifically, pianos. And that is exactly what will happen on June 7, 8 and 9 on the occasion of the celebration of the third edition of Piano City Madrid, a festival entirely dedicated to this instrument organized by TopArteEspaña in collaboration with the Area of Culture, Tourism and Sport of the City of Madrid.
The event, which took place for the first time in the summer of 2022, is repeated this year with 62 free concerts performed by veteran pianists and young talents (from 16 to 60 years old) such as Álex Conde, María Parra, Mario Viñuela and Álvaro Corrochano or Sofia Comas or the Italians Alessandra Toni, Alberto Vescovi and Gulio Fagiolini.
As in previous editions, the public will be able to attend concerts featuring classical, jazz, classical and electronic music. The complete Program of this third edition can be consulted here in this link.
where will the piano concerts be held?
These concerts are distributed among outdoor locations in the streets, promenades or parks of the city and auditoriums or spaces enabled for this purpose. The organization has already confirmed this year’s locations:
- Goethe Institut (Calle de Zurbarán, 21).
- Conde-Duque (Conde Duque Street, 11).
- CentroCentro (Plaza de Cibeles, 1A).
- Serrería Belga (Alameda Street, 15).

how to get a ticket for the concerts?
The concerts are completely free, and in some of them the ticket is free until full capacity, as is the case of those held in Condeduque or Cuesta de Moyano.
However, for the rest of the locations (such as the Invernadero de Arganzuela or the Teatro Albéniz), although the ticket is still free, it will be necessary to reserve it in advance. Reservations can be made in this link.
The inauguration of the event will kick off on Friday, June 7 at 7 pm at CentroCentro with concerts by Susana Gómez Vázquez, Paula Pacheco and Roberto Prosseda.
