Inspire Generations of Excellence
On October 3, 2025, USM celebrated the grand opening of the Crewe Center for the Arts. This vibrant new home for the Dr. Alfred and D. Suzi Osher School of Music features world-class spaces for music, packed with next-generation technological and sonic innovations. Now, it needs the instruments to match. That’s why USM is investing in the world’s finest pianos: 26 handcrafted Steinway & Sons instruments, including performance grands, Spirio technology pianos, and teaching uprights. With these, we will join elite ranks of All-Steinway Schools—the gold standard of music education.
We invite you to become part of this transformational moment by naming your piano in the Crewe Center.
