A Letter From Our President & the 2021-22 Membership Application
Dear Members of the SSWPA,
After a long year of canceled concerts and isolation, we are very happy to announce the reopening of our 2021-2022 season with live recitals.
As you know, the SSWPA, chartered by the Steinway & Sons, is a non-profit organization, providing Pittsburgh with two wonderful programs: the Piano Recital Series, and the Young Artists program. We were fortunate to be able to continue a successful Young Artists program during the 2020-2021 season, mostly via Zoom, but we are so excited to be able to bring back our Professional Recital Series.
The Single Membership of $60, includes one ticket to each of the four recitals, and the Family Membership of $100, provides four tickets to each of the four recitals. We are presenting outstanding artists this season from three different countries and we hope as previous members, you will all return.
The SSWPA Young Artists program offers Honors Recitals, Master Classes and Workshops which will take place at a location to be announced, and are also open to our members. These programs are free of charge in support of our talented young pianists. Several of these Young Artists will be performing this season at Heinz Hall prior to the Pittsburgh Symphony concerts. We also established an Outstanding Artist Award, courtesy of the Melanie Schmidt Memorial Fund. This $200 award will be given each year to one exceptional student, chosen by our adjudicator.
SSWPA is a non-profit organization, and as such, we depend on memberships, donations, and sponsorship. Thanks to our wonderfully committed members, our organization was able to survive through the pandemic. As a previous member, we are inviting you to renew your membership for 2021-2022 season at this time. We will also welcome any additional tax deductible donations. Please note that our board is all volunteer and 100% of membership dues and your generous donations are directly applied to support our two programs as we strive to maintain the quality that we have achieved over the years.
We hope you will consider renewing your membership and are looking forward to welcoming you back as SSWPA members for our upcoming 2021-2022 season.
Sincerely,
Marina Lupinacci, President
