The piano was provided by the social music school DoReMi. They "place freely accessible pianos in public spaces. Everyone can play." openpianoforrefugees.com/?lang=en

 

They "offer music classes in pair lessons for refugees and socially disadvantaged people paired up with people being socioeconomically more fortunate and mostly German-speaking.
