CORPORATE DONOR STEINWAY & SONS

Founded in 1853 in Manhattan by German piano builder Heinrich Engelhard Steinweg, Steinway & Sons, also known as Steinway, is the most famous maker of pianos in the world, prized by musicians of all genres for over a century. Each Steinway piano is handcrafted and takes nearly a year to build. A Steinway piano is a required instrument for respected conservatories, concert venues and music schools. In addition, the world’s finest primary and secondary schools choose to provide their students, faculty, and community with the best school pianos possible. These schools are “Steinway Select Schools” and their choice is supported by Steinway’s unique Educational Services department, which partners with Steinway Select Schools to help them acquire, manage, and maintain the best school pianos the world has to offer.

Harlem School of the Arts is proud to be a Steinway Select School, and is in fact the only Steinway Select School providing conservatory-level music instruction to youth, ages 5 -18, in New York City, and one of only sixteen in this country. In addition to providing its specially crafted school pianos and services, Steinway & Sons has provided generous financial support to help sustain the important mission and work of the Harlem School of the Arts, as well as reaching out to provide public performance opportunities for our talented students. We are grateful to Steinway & Sons for its multi-faceted work and support on our behalf.
