After 20 years, Noe Music is upgrading from our Model B to the flagship nine-foot Steinway Model D Concert Grand Piano. Instruments of this caliber are typically found only on the world’s greatest stages, and through the generosity of a lead donor we have the rare opportunity to bring one into our beautiful neighborhood setting, to be savored by Noe Music’s artists and audiences as well as by the constellation of professional and community groups who perform at Noe Valley Ministry year-round. This event is not only a celebration of a world-class piano but also a pivotal fundraiser to support its acquisition and ongoing programming. Come be the very first to hear this spectacular instrument in its new home at Noe Valley Ministry, and invest in a future of great performances in our city.
We are beyond lucky to have this piano on loan for the upcoming season and with your help, we can make its presence permanent!
