NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Washingtoner -- Directors Joshua Izzard and Graciella Kowalczyk of Nashville Chopin and Music City Chopin announced the roster of donors to the organization's Piano Rainbow donation program along with the names of the first five Metro Nashville Public Schools that will receive pianos.  The Piano Rainbow Initiative places pianos in schools and community centers in under-resourced and underprivileged areas across Nashville. Nashville Chopin provides these wonderful instruments free of charge, as well as mentorship, artistic guidance, and educational materials. This project aims to honor the cultural diversity of Music City while empowering students through music education.

Next week, the first five pianos are heading to their new homes at Napier Elementary School, Robert Churchwell Museum Magnet Elementary, John Early Museum Magnet Middle School, Warner Elementary Arts Magnet School, and Bellshire Elementary, where they will become living musical murals.
