Piano Suite weaves three lyrical facets of the Philadelphia piano community into a fascinating aural and visual composition. Three movements reveal the ways in which pianos resonate in the lives of people who restore, play and love pianos.
The first movement tells the story of Cunningham Piano a 110 year old, family-owned business located in Germantown and world famous for rebuilding and restoring pianos. In the second movement we meet the craftsmen who bring pianos back to life and the thousands of parts - hammers, dampers, keys, and strings that inhabit the most complex and expressive musical instrument ever created.
The final movement and the leitmotif tying the video together are the individuals for whom one special piano has become a partner, a friend, and a member of the family.
