CBC TV covers fortepiano fundraiser

Ottawa residents got a sneak peek at the 240 year old fortepiano when CBC TV covered “For heaven’s sake! Let’s fix this fortepiano” fundraiser.

James Wright, Alexis Luko and Andrew Burn are well on their way to ensuring Carleton music students have a refurbished piano to play.

The SSAC professors and music student raised approximately $6,000 and counting, at the Friday October 22, concert and fundraiser. 

This spring, the antique instrument will be sent to a specialist in Napanee for restoration and then returned back to campus where it will finally be heard after a long silence.
