You are invited to a FREE pop-up tribute under the lights of Hollywood on Thursday, April 26th at 8:45PM – Love Letters to LA: Pianos Live, is a FREE, one night only concert around the piano located outside of the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. Kicking off the final week of the pianos’ LA visit, the concert will feature stripped down, unplugged performances by over a dozen local artists. Each artist will perform one song – a cover of their choosing that means “Los Angeles” to them.
