About this event
Friday 28 August 2026, 2.30–3pm Ikon Gallery, Birmingham FREE entry Hear a sculpture come alive. Join BCMG pianist John Reid for a 30‑minute, drop‑in performance on Angela de la Cruz’s extraordinary Upright Piano (1999), presented at Ikon Gallery as part of Angela de la Cruz: UPRIGHT. Upright Piano is a re‑made instrument: de la Cruz joined and re‑strung a whole piano with the bottom part of another so it can only be played at standing height.

Bach. Free entry with no need to book — just drop in!
