Music School Secures New Pianos Through Charitable Donation from The Ahmanson Foundation
The School of Music is thrilled to announce a generous philanthropic investment from The Ahmanson Foundation, which has donated seven new Yamaha pianos. These instruments, set to be ready for use upon a return to in-person instruction, are high-caliber and are expected to significantly improve the quality of music heard through the school's practice room hallways.
This donation holds the potential to enhance performance quality, improve learning opportunities, attract talented students and faculty, and support community engagement.
