You either want a direct input box (D.I.). Which allows the signal from your piano to be run into through the PA mixing console (keyboard output > 1/4" cable > D.I. box > XLR cable > PA mixing console input) or you want to invest in a keyboard amp and have the amp cabinet mic'ed with either your own microphone or the sound engineer's and run through the console in that manner.
