Come and play piano in Diagonal!

Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) through its Foundation has once again collaborated with the prestigious Maria Canals Piano Competition, which took place from March 23 to April 3.

This edition celebrated the 70th anniversary of the competition with an exhibition titled Maria Canals, a competition with soul and the Centenary of the metro.

At the Espai Mercè Sala, two pianos were placed: a grand piano, like the one installed in previous years, which was available to the public, choirs, and music schools for 15 days, and a second upright piano, which was installed with the intention of remaining there permanently.

We bring music closer to all users.

Taking advantage of both celebrations, the two organizations started the experience of leaving a piano permanently in the lobby of the L5 at Diagonal station.

The piano invites passengers to accept the challenge of stopping, sitting down, and playing its keys.
