The 1906 Steinway

For the Love of Music:

Nestled in the reception room near the fireplace is a 1906 Steinway concert grand piano.  The Steinway originally belonged to Nina Barker Lange, who received the piano as a wedding present from her husband.  Lange was an accomplished concert pianist and also taught piano lessons on her beloved Steinway.  After her death, the Steinway was donated to Cushing Memorial Hospital. 

The Steinway came to the Carnegie Arts Center in the late 1980s and remains on permanent loan from Cushing Memorial Hospital and the family of Nina Barker Lange.  After being restored, the Steinway was dedicated with a special performance by David Hollander on April 16, 1989.

A New Beginning:

Since 1989, the Steinway has seen many, many talented performers, from professional pianists to beginners at their very first recitals.

The Steinway is admired by all who visit the Carnegie Arts Center.
