The Steinway Society of Riverside County and the Coachella Valley promotes excellence in piano performance for all children by bringing music into the schools and encouraging music education at all levels.

The Society also provides financial awards through competition and provides music lessons for deserving children with financial need.

Message from the President

A heartfelt thank you to all who participate in the Steinway Society of Riverside County and the Coachella Valley. To our generous benefactors and volunteers, your participation in our efforts to enrich the lives of the children through music is a most worthy endeavor. Because of your support our programs are thriving.

"Classics in Schools" has reached 9,000 children this year, some of whom had never heard classical music before. The letters and art work from the children showed a love for the music and their eagerness to hear more.

The Outreach Program is supporting very dedicated and worthy students who would not be able to have music lessons without the financial support of our generous donors.

Our Annual Competition Festival is encouraging very talented students to pursue their dream of making music. These students are striving for excellence with their dedication, talent and wonderful teachers.

With great hopes we are planning to expand by bringing new programs to more children, as they are our future.

Thank you again for your continued support.
