"YOU ARE NOT ALONE" YELLOW PIANO INSTALLATION
Opening Private Event at UCLA Hillel
Hostages and Missing Families Forum
Bring Them Home Now!
Alon Ohel, a talented 23 year old jazz pianist, was kidnapped by Hamas from the Nova Music Festival on October 7th. In order to support the release of Alon and over100 other hostages, yellow "You Are Not Alone" pianos are placed at public spaces around the world to create opportunities for people to express their support by playing the piano and gathering around it or sing together. Everyone is invited to play the piano to send love, strength, and a message tothe hostages -that they are not alone. Since Alon and all the hostages do not have the freedom to play the piano, you have the opportunity and ability to play for them and help us raise awareness for the importance of their quick release.
Performances by Wendy Prober and Hughie Stonefish
