A Branson Attraction is hosting an event Tuesday in conjunction with World Piano Day.

A release from the Titanic Museum Attraction recapped by Tim Church of the Branson Tri-Lakes News is below:

In honor of World Piano Day on Tuesday, March 29, The Titanic Museum Attraction in Branson is hosting an all day Piano-thon featuring some of the area’s most distinguished and accomplished pianists.

Starting at 9 a.m., Titanic Branson will host a new piano player in the Titanic Music Gallery every 30 minutes to play the museum’s piano. 

This unique, international holiday was founded by German Composer and Musician Nils Frahm. World Piano Day is celebrated world-wide on the 88th day of each year, which is in recognition of the 88 keys on a piano.

“Why does the world need a Piano Day and why is the Titanic Museum Attraction promoting it? For many reasons,” COO and Co-Owner Mary Kellogg-Joslyn said in a press release. “The piano is an instrument with the power to bring people together to enjoy one thing we all have in common—MUSIC—the international peace maker.”

On board the Titanic, there were at least five known Steinway pianos. Three were positioned in 1st Class; among them was the ship’s only Grand Piano. In 2nd Class there were two upright pianos and it is reported 3rd Class also had an upright piano, but little is known about it. Each of these instruments played important roles in the ship’s social scene and in the ship’s final hours, according to Kellogg-Joslyn.
