| Event: | FSS-15 THE MAKING OF A STEINWAY PIANO | | Date: | December 5th, 2011.
| | Time: | 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM | | Category: | FSS11 | | Contact: | Ellie Caplan, Coordinator | We will see Note By Note, a feature-length documentary film that follows the creation of a Steinway concert grand — #L1037 — from forest floor to concert hall. It explores the relationship between musician and instrument, chronicles the manufacturing process, and illustrates what makes each Steinway unique in this age of mass production. The movie is based on a series of articles that ran in the New York Times in 2007. Kate Steinway, the daughter of the late Henry Z. Steinway who was the last family member to run the company founded by his great grandfather, will join our group for the movie and reminisce and answer questions after the showing. She is the Executive Director of the Connecticut Historical Society in Hartford.
