A contest that could change everything

The concept is simple: find a seat in front of one of the pianos at the station, play your best piece, film it, and share it on Instagram. What’s at stake? A selection by Yamaha, regional finals starting April 23, and then a big national final in June in Paris. And guess what? The jury will include André Manoukian and Julie Gayet. Let's just say it's going to be exciting!est on something serious.
The stations of Hauts-de-France in the spotlight
If you're ready to take a chance in the region, head to Amiens, Arras, Béthune, Lille Europe, Lille Flandres, or Valenciennes. The regional final will be held in Lille, and only one pianist will be chosen to represent Hauts-de-France in Paris. Just imagine: a train, a station, a few notes… and maybe a ticket to greatness.
🎁 Rewards that are truly impressive

Yamaha pianos, a recording studio session, or the chance to perform at a festival. This is what awaits the finalists. Free and open to everyone, this contest aims to uncover talent and make music even more accessible.
When the station becomes a stage
Since the first piano was installed in 2012 at Montparnasse, these instruments have found their place in train stations. They break down social barriers, bring generations together, and create moments of emotion (who hasn’t shed a little tear while listening to a stranger play in the middle of a station while waiting for a train?) They have even inspired a movie (Au bout des doigts). So if you have talent (or just want to give it a shot), now’s the time to tune your piano and go for it!
Stations involved: Lille Europe, Lille Flandres, Arras, Amiens, Béthune, and Valenciennes.
You have until March 16th to participate
