MINI: Driving Hope

Schools with music programs have a 94% attendance rate, yet such programs have declined by 47% in NYC since 2014. So MINI
and non-profit Sing For Hope filled NYC with 50 hand-painted pianos, while also creating one additional piano on wheels.
 
This roving concert machine not only showed off MINI's surprising storage space, it brought live music and awareness to all five boroughs. After the program, the pianos were donated to NYC schools in need.
