MINI: Driving Hope
Schools with music programs have a 94% attendance rate, yet such schools have declined by 47% in NYC. So MINI partnered
with charity Sing For Hope, to place 50 hand-painted pianos around NY, while also creating one additional piano on wheels.
This roving concert machine not only showed off MINI's surprising storage space, it brought music to NYC parents and children
across the five boroughs. After the program, the pianos were donated to NYC schools in need.
Pop-up concert at Brooklyn Library featuring J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. and Jukebox the Ghost.
