An Evening of 100 Fingers is the annual, signature concert event of Pianos for People, featuring professional pianists and musicians performing in a variety of genres. There are two parts to the event:

1) A pre-concert dinner reception beginning at 5:30pm in the Sheldon Ballroom

2) The celebration concert beginning at 7:00pm in the Sheldon Concert Hall

This year we are thrilled to have Grammy-winning pianist Peter Martin returning as our host along with local piano star Adam Maness. The concert lineup also includes Brian Woods, Karen Fulks, Adaron "Pops" Jackson and our former student Royce Martin. But the real stars of the show are some of our current Pianos for People students, proudly demonstrating their skills.

All proceeds from the event go directly to our mission - to provide free access to the transformative power of music for those who need it most. We do this by cultivating inspiration, education, community and enrichment, at no charge to those we serve.

We delivered our first piano in December 2012, and have since delivered over 400 free, high-quality, donated pianos to new homes. Pianos donated through our program have had a positive impact on literally thousands of people via our recipient families, community groups, churches and underfunded schools.

Pianos for People also currently has 200+ students enrolled at our free Cherokee Street and Ferguson piano schools, and a growing number of additional students at outreach locations throughout the St. Louis area where we partner with other agencies. We also host free Summer Piano Camps for youth, and throughout the year we bring people together from our neighborhoods and beyond for free community events that encompass music education, collaboration, and performance.

PLEASE NOTE that this ticketing site adds an optional 12% tip, which you can deselect by choosing "Other" and $0.00.
