122 to play in 12-hour piano marathon

STEINWAY Gallery Singapore is holding its first piano marathon in aid of The Business Times Budding Artists Fund (BTBAF).

On Dec 16, some 122 pianists will converge for a non-stop 12-hour session with as many as three pianos at ION Orchard Level 1 Atrium to raise funds for the children's charity.

The songs selected by the pianists themselves run the gamut from classical and Christmas standards to jazz to pop. But they've been curated to ensure a smooth transition from one genre to another.
