What a grand piano--In January, a twelve-year-old
Bösendörfer B200 grand piano had its debut on campus, played by
Gary Steigerwalt, associate professor of music. The instrument was manufactured
in Austria and belonged to Elizabeth D. Schumacker '26; her daughter Margaret
Scott arranged for the College to receive it last fall. Now in the Warbeke
Room, one of two concert facilities in Pratt Hall, the piano will be played
by both students and faculty. Steigerwalt deems the piano a wonderful gift
to the music department because its warm tone is perfectly suited to the
acoustics and intimate surroundings of the Warbeke Room.
