You have seen and heard street performers playing piano on the street. It’s always a spectacular scene to see, but it’s nothing new. Now, what about playing the piano ON the floor?

The Pianoforte Gigante ensemble brings a fresh twist to musical performance, blending dance with the enchanting sounds of a colossal piano mat. Yep, you didn’t read that wrong. Just when it seemed our list of exceptional pianists was complete, this group danced their way into the spotlight and proved us otherwise.

Their 2019 YouTube video captures a mesmerizing rendition of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme, initiated by two performers who dance across a gigantic piano mat with finesse and precision. From the first note, it’s evident that these artists are in perfect harmony with the music, missing not a single beat in their elegant dance.

As the melody builds, the performance intensifies, welcoming two more dancers to the mix. This quartet weaves in and out, creating a visually captivating display of musical mastery and agile movement. The pedestrians there were simply HOOKED by their unorthodox performance (no pun intended.)

Their choice of piece, known for its complexity, is executed with such skill that it underscores the unique combination of music and dance. This performance not only entertains but also showcases the innovative ways in which oversized pianos can be utilized, marrying choreography and melody in a seamless dance that keeps the audience riveted.
