What do the Yale School of Music, the Julliard School of Music, and the China Conservatory of Music all have in common with George Mason University? They have all received the honor of becoming All-Steinway schools. What this means is that 90 percent of the pianos in these facilities are Steinways, which have long been considered the finest pianos in the world. Mason received 16 brand new Steinway grand pianos and now has the distinct privilege of joining an elite list of schools around the world in their commitment to musical excellence through the All-Steinway distinction.
The All-Steinway distinction is important because it showcases Mason’s commitment to its thriving music department. Steinway pianos represent unparalleled excellence in music and will help to foster and enrich all aspects of Mason’s illustrious music department. Nearly all the instrumental and vocal programs rely heavily on the use of a piano, and now that Mason has the All-Steinway distinction, all of these programs will be enhanced by the Steinways and their high quality sound.
