CULTURE SHOCK MIAMI Presents The YOU Review: PIANO SLAM 9

For the 9th consecutive year, the Dranoff 2 Piano Foundation has engaged more than 60,000 Miami-Dade County public middle and high school students in live in-school 2-piano concert experiences.

The Culture Shock Miami YOU Review Crew met with students on both sides of the curtain of PIANO SLAM 9 on February 16, 2017 to find out what the arts and PIANO SLAM have meant to them . . . .
