 “Several dear friends and donors saw the need and supported the vision,” said Fitzsimmons. “They helped to make this dream a reality.” —President Tracy Fitzsimmons, Ph.D. “This plan, this dream, this hope has turned into an extraordinary reality, one that has even exceeded our expectations. I’m thrilled, not only that this plan is complete, and that the instruments are here, but that we’ve met our needs at every level.” —Michael Stepniak, Ed.D., dean, Shenandoah Conservatory “Steinway is made with a lot of heart, ‘good engineering’, it is made with passion by workers in a close special community” —Israel Schossev, B.M. “We're preparing them to perform on the best stages in the world. We needed to give them the best instruments on which to learn. We have provided for our students in the best way possible. We’ve given them Steinways.” —President Tracy Fitzsimmons, Ph.D.

Steinway Models

  1. Steinway Model D

    The Steinway & Sons Model D (also known as the "Concert Grand") is the overwhelming choice of artists and educational institutions throughout the world. It is the standard by which all other concert grand pianos are judged. At 8' 11 3/4" (274cm) in length, this majestic musical instrument is the overwhelming choice to the world's greatest pianists. This piano will completely satisfy those who desire the highest possible level of musical expression.

  2. Steinway Model B

    This magnificent seven-foot grand piano is often described as “the perfect piano.” In terms of balance, beauty and power, it has no equal. The choice of top recording studios, it is also the piano many Steinway artists have in their homes. Wonderfully balanced and versatile, it performs extremely well in both intimate settings and mid-sized venues. It is the musical instrument that those who love the piano can’t wait to play. No matter where you want to go, this piano will get you there.

  3. Steinway Model A

    At 6 feet 2 inches, this amazing piano sounds like a much larger model. The powerful yet warm sound is the result of an amazing scale design that allows the solid spruce soundboard to freely and efficiently vibrate, producing a sound that simply cannot be experienced in any piano other than a Steinway. Its slightly longer keys give the player a sense of heightened sensitivity and control. The size of this piano is large enough to satisfy those who demand a full, rich bass — yet small enough to beautifully fit into almost any studio.

  4. Steinway Boston

    The Steinway designed Boston Piano — long unrivaled in its class and unmatched in value — has been significantly enhanced with the introduction of the new Performance Edition. The Boston Performance Edition features improvements in materials, specifications, and performance never before seen in the mid-price range.

Steinway Benefactors

In September 2011, Shenandoah University launched its All-Steinway School Initiative and since then, has raised $2.7 million to add 27 new Steinways and 57 Steinway-produced Bostons to Shenandoah Conservatory’s fleet of concert, studio, and rehearsal pianos. The fundraising  campaign was slated take five years yet the university, with support from generous donors, completed it in four. Now that the initiative is completed, Shenandoah Conservatory joins an elite group—seven conservatories in the United States and a total of 14 worldwide—that bear the coveted “All-Steinway School” status, affirming its commitment to excellence in pre-professional training for all students. Below are the people and organizations that provided major gifts in contribution to the success of this initiative.
