  • Who owns a acoustic piano these days? Across the country, less people are buying them

    3 weeks ago | npr.org | Marcheta Fornoff

    The acoustic piano was once a fixture in middle class homes. That's not the case anymore. With the popularity of electronic keyboards and music software, who is in the market for acoustic pianos?

  • Only 2 women have ever won the Cliburn piano competition. Would narrow keyboards change that?

    3 weeks ago | tpr.org | Marcheta Fornoff

    The winner of the Seventeenth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition won't be named until Saturday. But right now, one thing is certain: It won't be a woman. Only two women, Olga Kern and Cristina Ortiz, have ever won in the competition's more than 60-year history. And it will be at least another four years before that changes. The Cliburn is not unusual in this respect.

  • ‘A bummer time’ for piano: The instrument’s center stage in Fort Worth, but across the country, sales are falling

    From KERA News:Jon Suder is one of a dwindling number of Americans who recently bought a new piano. He wasn’t planning to. The Fort Worth attorney still beams with pride when showing off the 1922 Steinway baby grand that he and his siblings took lessons on as kids. But Suder is a big supporter of the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, even hosting competitors in his home. Steinway & Sons moves pianos into every host family home, so the competitors can practice.

  • Federal funding cuts hurt, but North Texas arts organizations are still hopeful

    4 weeks ago | keranews.org | Marcheta Fornoff

    The loss of $345,000 in federal funding to North Texas arts groups was a gut punch. But it’s not a fatal blow. That was the consensus Thursday night when arts leaders and artists gathered for one of the first public discussions since the National Endowment for the Arts rescinded grants to several area groups. “Noone here has ever looked at the NEA as the answer,” said Will Evans of Deep Vellum, which lost a $20,000 grant.
