Steinway Spirio Pre-Concert Demonstration
2:15PM – 2:45PM
We invite patrons to come early to see a demonstration of the Steinway Spirio’s incredible technological features in the lobby of the Chan Centre.
The Steinway Spirio is the world’s finest high-resolution player piano capable of live performance and playback. The pianists from the concert will exemplify how this works, playing live on the piano alongside recordings of themselves. The Spirio replicates performances at such a high level that they are virtually indistinguishable from a live experience.
