Music can be used in many ways. Creating unity is one of the ways “Pianos for Peace” utilizes music.

For two weeks starting on Sept. 1, the “Pianos for Peace” festival will place 88 colorful, hand-painted pianos throughout the metro-Atlanta area. The public is invited to play or simply admire them before they are donated to local schools, healthcare facilities, and community centers. The locations can be found on their website.
