“Steinway pianos have been my collaborative partners for more than forty years. From the gorgeous model B grand piano which resides in my residence, to the many model D pianos which I have selected for several professional and academic venues, to the more than 50 Steinway pianos which joined Boise State University as we became an All-Steinway school, having these glorious pianos as the performing media for personal artistic expression has been sheer joy and pleasure. I cannot imagine my life as a pianist without the superb sound and action of Steinway pianos. These instruments are truly my most important musical partners and friends. Yes - a fabulous piano can truly be a friend.”
