“The Piano” returns to Channel 4 this Sunday, bringing with it the familiar charm of host Claudia Winkleman and the musical expertise of mentors Mika and Jon Batiste. This season, the search for hidden musical gems begins at London’s bustling Liverpool Street Station, where unsuspecting commuters are about to have their daily routines transformed by the power of music.
In this first episode, a diverse array of amateur pianists takes to the public piano, hoping to impress the secretly observing mentors. Among them are a talented dinner lady, a young girl brimming with star power, and a tarot card reader who seems to have found her true calling at the keyboard.
With seven-time Grammy winner Jon Batiste joining the mentoring team, the stakes are higher than ever. Will his discerning ear uncover a true virtuoso? “The Piano” has a history of unearthing extraordinary talent, and this season looks to be no different. The journey to the final concert begins Sunday, April 13th at 9:00 PM on Channel 4.
