Contribute to our most exciting year yet!
Your tax-deductible donation to our 501c3 Nonprofit, Stretto Piano Events, will make a difference at this crucial time for our global movement and unique concert platform!
Stretto Piano Events includes Stretto Piano Concerts (SPC) and The International Stretto Piano Festival, which were both created to provide unique concert platforms for pianists wanting a choice of key size. This serves the ever-growing demographic of global pianists who wish to play pianos with narrow, or “stretto,” keys. We have coined the generic term “stretto” for all makes of pianos with narrower-than-conventional keys.
“I am happy to support and encourage this initiative.”
— Daniel Barenboim
Above, the Steinway Model C stretto grand piano used for concerts in NYC has been used in Engelman Recital Hall, Symphony Space, Bedford Studio in Brooklyn (for recordings and rehearsals) and can be shared with local and visiting artists - don’t hesitate to inquire about this by writing to us!
