Marietta Square Farmers Market 2013-2019 (not permitted in 2020 due to COVID-19)
Saturdays in Spring, Summer & Autumn as schedules allow
Nico was inspired to play on the street by a public piano project encountered while on vacation where Nico played for tips when he was seven years old.  Back at home with a portable piano, he plays at the farmers market whenever he can (with the blessing of the market manager).  Nico keeps about 30-45 minutes of varied pieces polished for performing.  He typically plays pieces from his latest recital, new pieces and current favorites, repeating as necessary for a rotating passerby audience.  Ten percent of his tips go to pay back his grandmother for his grand piano, ten percent is donated, and the rest is split between saving and spending money.
