University of Arkansas Commits to Becoming an All-Steinway School
The University of Arkansas has made a commitment to becoming an All-Steinway School, providing students and faculty with the highest quality pianos for instruction and performance. As only the second institution in the Southeastern Conference and one of only 113 colleges and universities in the world to attain this honor, the university will acquire all Steinway brand pianos, which are the preferred instruments of more than 99 percent of the concert artists worldwide.
The STARR piano competition will not be held this year. Please watch for future competition information.
