World Piano Day 2026 marks a major first edition in Montreal. As part of World Piano Day, celebrated around the globe, this unique event brings together artists, enthusiasts, and the general public around a universal instrument — the piano — under the honorary godfather of Oliver Jones.

This first Canadian edition promises to be exceptional, bringing together renowned pianists in a setting never explored before: a loading dock, transformed for the occasion into a space of creation, resonance, and emotion.

Throughout the day, the public will also be able to take part in interactive workshops and presentations led by piano experts, authors, physicians, therapists, thinkers, and music artisans. These sessions will offer a rare opportunity to explore the piano from multiple perspectives — artistic, technical, historical, scientific, educational, and philosophical — while encouraging dialogue and exchange between creators, performers, and enthusiasts.

The event will also feature an exclusive visit to the Esmonde White workshop, offering rare access behind the scenes of contemporary piano craftsmanship. Participants will have the opportunity to try the TUXEDO piano, equipped with the revolutionary Esmonde White Action™ mechanism, a major innovation that reimagines the relationship between the pianist, touch, and sound.

On this occasion, Oliver Esmonde-White will share the story behind the creation and invention of the Esmonde White Action™ mechanism, retracing the journey, challenges, and vision that led to this unique advancement in the world of piano.

The creator of the project, Oliver Esmonde-White is a musician, creator, and visionary behind a bold approach to the piano. Known for pushing the boundaries between music, place, and emotion, he transforms every performance — and every encounter — into an immersive and unforgettable experience.
