The UA Brand of Excellence Demands Steinway & Sons
Pianos provide the foundational tools for instruction in all musical disciplines. Your gift supporting UA’s Steinway Piano Campaign Fund helps us reach new heights of musical achievement.
The Steinway & Sons name has been synonymous with the finest pianos since 1853. A high level of traditional craftsmanship, painstaking attention to detail, and premium grade materials used are attributes of each of these hand-crafted instruments. The world class piano maker’s uncompromising standards of quality ensure that its pianos are peerless instruments of unrivaled expression.
WHY STEINWAY?
Investing in Steinway pianos means all UA music students have the best possible instruments to hone their craft while raising The University of Akron’s standard to be a national model where creativity and expression flourish. The impact of being an All-Steinway School will be profound and immediate, enhancing student performance levels and drawing ever more talented, diverse, and competitive students to campus. In turn, their musical expression will share dynamic performances that enhance the artistic environment of Akron and our region.
Led by stellar academic, cultural and arts performance leaders, The University of Akron School of Music works tirelessly to elevate the musical arts. The University’s role in the city’s expanding artistic sights demands that it deploy the best tools that allow the excellence of students and faculty to shine ever brighter. The UA brand of excellence demands STEINWAY & SONS. It is a time to offer new opportunities for our students to be enlightened and entertained, to learn their art, to perform and to feel they are part of a creative movement toward excellence.
