Gift Allows Purchase of Campus’s First Steinway

UC Merced's nascent music program has gotten a boost with the purchase of its first Steinway concert grand piano, thanks to a $50,000 donation from Bob and Marie Gallo. "This extraordinary concert piano will not only provide a critical foundation for the implementation of the music program, but will expand UC Merced's ability to provide performance opportunities to faculty, staff, students and the community," said Hans Björnsson, interim dean of the School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts and acting vice provost for Academic Planning.

The piano, which will be housed in the Dr. Lakireddy Auditorium, will help launch the campus's music program, beginning with a jazz center and research program.
