Sarasota Opera Receives $41,000 Grant from T.T. and W.F. Chao Foundation for Purchase of Pianos

The Giving Coast

Sarasota Opera has been awarded a $41,000 grant from T.T. and W.F. Chao Foundation to purchase four upright pianos. With the receipt of this generous grant, the Sarasota Opera has received most of the funding needed to replace seven pianos, three Boston baby grand pianos and four upright pianos, that were in disrepair.  These new instruments will replace those most damaged by humidity and an intense two decades of daily use. 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.
