For over 13 years the Berger Performing Arts Center has had the wonderful
opportunity to use a beautiful Grand piano through the generous support of
Hachenberg & Sons and the Yamaha Corporation. Due to the current state of
the economy Yamaha has informed us that they can no longer allow use of the
grand piano free of charge. Yamaha needs to collect the piano and put it up
for sale. This is going to leave the Berger Performing Arts Center without
a grand piano, which could effect our ability to support many of the
wonderful concerts Tucson audiences have had the opportunity to enjoy at our
venue in the past.
It is our intention at the Berger Performing Arts Center to make sure we
replace this piano so we can continue to support the variety of quality
performances we are so fortunate to host. It is now necessary for us to
find a way to purchase a piano of our own. This means that we must find a
way to raise the funds to make such a large purchase. We are still
searching for the appropriate piano to replace the piano we will be losing,
therefore a fundraising goal has not been determined. We are told that we
will be looking at price tag from $50,000 to $75,000 depending on what piano
we decide to purchase.
To begin the fundraising process we have scheduled a concert with some of
our friends, here at the Berger Performing Arts Center. Several artists
that have either performed or presented at the Berger Performing Arts Center
have agreed to participate in the concert in some form or another. The list
of performers scheduled to appear are (the list is subject to change):
. Lisa Otey
. Rex Woods
. Kim Hayashi
. Juan Aguirre
. Chamber Music Plus
. Illusionist Michael Howell
. Time To Dance Dance Studio
. Susan Claassen from Invisible Theatre
. Arizona Rose Theatre Company
. Genevieve Gaus, Richard Katz and Friends
. Mary Bouley and Don Gest of Trim the Velvet
. John Corrin and Student Alumni from the Arizona State Schools for
the Deaf and the Blind
Please join us on April 16th for a fun evening with a variety of
entertainment.
