Indiana Landmarks’ Grand Hall has a new addition—a 990-pound, 9-foot long Steinway Model D concert grand piano, acquired through a grant from the Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation. To dedicate the piano — the instrument of choice for concert pianists — American Pianists Association Classical Fellow Spencer Myer offers a performance of Scarlatti, Schubert, Debussy, Copland and Bolcom. The program ranges from seventeenth-century to contemporary composers, showing the versatility of the both the artist and the piano. Myer helped Indiana Landmarks select the piano at the Steinway facility in New York. Spencer Myer’s orchestral, recital and chamber music performances have been heard throughout North America, Europe, Africa and Asia. Winner of the 2006 Christel DeHaan Classical Fellowship from the American Pianists Association, Myer also received both of the competition’s special prizes in Chamber Music and Lieder Accompanying. After intermission, Craig Gigax, second-generation owner of Meridian Music, will talk briefly about Steinway & Sons, a 150-year-old firm. The company’s time-honored manufacturing process was the subject of a 2007 documentary, Note by Note: The Making of Steinway L1037, screened at Indianapolis’s Heartland Film Festival. Each Steinway piano's creation—by 450 craftsmen—takes 12 months.
