Faculty Forum to Include Demonstration on Steinway Piano
Dr. Nancy DeSalvo, assistant professor and chair of music at Westminster College, will present "Pianos and Their Makers" Wednesday, Feb. 22, at 11:45 a.m. in Orr Auditorium.
"My presentation is about what is involved in the selection of a Steinway piano," DeSalvo said. "I will discuss how the Steinway & Sons piano company builds pianos and why each piano is so special. I will also perform three Rachmaninoff Etudes to demonstrate the range of the sound on our Steinway Concert Grand D."
Faculty Forum, established in 1990, serves as a venue for the exchange of ideas and information among Westminster College faculty. Speakers present their research, teaching ideas, lectures, performances, special programs, and uses of technology to keep faculty informed about the work of colleagues from many disciplines.
DeSalvo, who has been with Westminster College since 2000, is chair and assistant professor of music at Westminster College. She earned her undergraduate degree from Youngstown State University, her master's from the Manhattan School of Music, and her D.M.A. from the Cleveland Institute of Music. She is a Steinway Artist, winner of the Gwendolyn Koldofsky Award, and first prize winner in the Darius Milhaud Performance Auditions.
DeSalvo is also a pianist with the Youngstown Symphony Orchestra and has been a guest soloist with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra. She performs extensively across the United States as a soloist, a professional accompanying pianist, and a chamber music collaborator.
