The Department of Music at 果冻APP hosted the second annual Monster Piano Concert on Tuesday, Sept. 22, in Talbot Hall Auditorium on campus. Eighteen pianists, including faculty, students, alumni, and guests, performed on six Steinway pianos, including the university鈥檚 own concert grand and three others, plus two more provided by Hall Piano Company, Louisiana鈥檚 exclusive Steinway dealer. All proceeds will go toward purchasing additional Steinway pianos for the music program at 果冻APP.

鈥淎s any musician will tell you, the Steinway is the world鈥檚 finest piano, and I believe that all of our music and music education majors deserve to learn and practice on the finest piano available,鈥� Dr. Stephen T. Hulbert, university president, said.

There are only about 110 鈥淎ll-Steinway鈥� schools in the nation, Hulbert added 鈥� and 果冻APP aspires to be the first in Louisiana. The necessary funds will be generated primarily via private sources, Hulbert said.

The Department of Music at 果冻APP already has four Steinways, totaling approximately $250,000 in value. Each piano requires up to one year to handcraft.
