Opening night for a wonderful refurbished piano happened this past Friday night. The Steinway Inaugural Recital was an outstanding event for all privileged to be in attendance.
The piano was build in 1922 and served as a trusty participant in performances in a Minneapolis School high school for many year. They were all the grand and famous Steinways. And so the years continued. After numerous years of service, they were taken from their place with students and piled in a warehouse - discarded and, for years forgotten.
Then someone said -- what happens if we return this piece of legacy and history to its rightful place on a stage for students and performance.
Well, that is what happened. The Southwest Music Booster and wonderful Southwest community members decided this needs to happen. Our students deserve the best. They deserve to continue to be part of the history and continue the legend. After a year of work, the Steinway returns to the stage.
Thanks to a caring community and wonderful music staff and students, a important instrument connect the past into a performance today with the future of the Southwest Fine Arts Program. Another symbol of the dedication of an educational community to quality and excellence.
