The UK’s biggest Music Therapy Charity, Nordoff Robins, is set to auction off George Michael’s personal Piano during its legendary O2 Silver Clef Award Ceremony on Friday 1st July 2022. The auction, which will be held live, will allow for fans, celebrities and audiences alike to to have the chance to not only make a difference, but to then own the legendary pop star’s prized musical possession.
As many audiences know, George Michael dedicated many of his years helping charities, donating to organisations and raising awareness on a plethora of varying causes in hopes of making a difference, which he undeniably did.
With the generous acceptance of donating Michael’s piano, The Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy team are able to reach an understandable larger audience due to the excitement if the auction prize, only equalling to more exposure to the charity itself. Their ethos is to highlight the power and connectivity of music and its example of communication, no matter your disability, social ostracism or illness.
George’s connection to Nordoff Robbins stems from many moons ago, as when he was in his late 20’s was awarded the with the Nordoff Robbins’ iconic Silver Clef Award for his impressive and unshakable contribution to UK music.
When receiving the award that year, in his famous George Michael fashion chose to bid a substantial amount for a guitar which he then gave back to the charity to be re-auctioned for the following year. As a man who was filled with endless generosity and care for the arts, it is a true honour to still have his name and legacy shared within this amazingly organisation and will hopefully continue to do so in years to come.
