Sergeant Chris Yip didn’t find the piano, it found him. Ten years ago, while on patrol in Brooklyn, he heard someone playing the piano inside the Brooklyn Music School. Moved by the music, he went inside and signed up for a lesson. Today, he’s a classical pianist who performs throughout the city, giving benefit concerts for non-profit organizations as a way of getting to know the communities he serves.
