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.
