Sarasota Opera Receives $50,000 Grant from Selby Foundation for Piano Purchase

The Giving Coast

Sarasota Opera has been awarded a $50,000 traditional grant for Spring 2025 from The William G. and Marie Selby Foundation to assist in the purchase of seven new pianos, including three Boston baby grand pianos and four upright pianos. The funding will directly support the acquisition of two of the three new baby grand pianos. These new instruments will replace those most damaged by humidity and intense, two-decades-long usage. The new Boston pianos, designed by Steinway & Sons, will enhance the quality of instruments used in rehearsals, training, and community outreach and youth education programs at Sarasota Opera.
