This event sounds incredible. My boyfriend and I are in a band together where I play piano and he plays guitar and we create percussion beats together. Would love to go to this with him.

Wow! Would love to be there.

I should win because I’m so sick and tired of tuba riots and I just really need a change. Quite riots are my standard back up, but it would be nice to get some piano time. Oh and also I’m poor and can’t afford tickets to this event so wah wah here’s my sob story.

Big fan of classical music. Actually met one of the pianists a few years ago. Would be funny to request some Pink Floyd.

I wanna go !

There’s nothing like the power of pianos and percussion to get the heart beating. I imagine my eyes would be bugging out of my head and I wouldn’t be able to stop smiling.

This sounds amazing! I would love to see a twist on classical performance.

My parents went to this concert a year or so ago. They said it was the most ear-shattering event ever. I would break up with my girlfriend to go to this concert (and of course take her too).

Stravinsky is my favourite composer, and my favourite instruments to play are piano and percussion. This show was made for me. I would love to do something like this with my boyfriend.

I would love to take my 14 year old son to this, he is a drummer and a pianist and this would be an awesome night out together!

This would make her happy and me look pretty great.
