About Us
Steinway Society is recognized as one of the gems of Bay Area cultural life.
Steinway Society – The Bay Area is a non-profit organization that presents and promotes excellence in classical piano performance and music education in the Bay Area. Now in its 30th season, this dedicated all-volunteer team of musicians, pianists, teachers and arts lovers presents a series of classical piano concerts that bring world-class, internationally recognized pianists to Silicon Valley, the Peninsula and the South Bay. We also offer in-home recitals, engage in community outreach, and contribute to music education programs for the young.
Much of the joy of Steinway Society concerts comes from their intimate setting, allowing for rich enjoyment of the musical experience.
In addition to presenting international pianists whom you would otherwise have to travel great distances to hear, we strive to create special opportunities for our patrons. At many of our concerts, we feature a post-concert Meet the Artist session where the artist signs autographs, poses for pictures, and interacts with patrons. Each season, we host one or more In-Home Salons with select international artists to raise funds and provide a behind-the-scenes experience with the artist. For a tax-deductible gift, the salons are open first to existing donors, and as space allows, to all patrons.
