WATCH: This 'Piano Boat' in London has been transformed into a concert hall. 'We only started less than two months ago and already our cruises are sold out for months,' says Rhiana Henderson, who is the manager of the project
LONDON - Music lovers in London can now enjoy classical performances with a difference - on a canal boat traversing the city’s waterways.
“It was built to our specifications as a floating concert venue,” he said, pointing to a brand new Steinway grand piano at one end of the cabin, which has been transformed into a concert hall with parquet flooring and sumptuous burgundy walls. Rhiana Henderson, manager of the project, said the idea of a floating concert venue came about when they were living on a narrowboat with a digital piano that was drawing interest from passersby.“The idea developed from there... We started lining up the chairs just to see how many people we could fit. And eventually we ended up with this boat,” she said.
“Everyone says that it’s so different to being in a large concert hall because it feels really, really friendly and really intimate,” she said.
