THANK YOU

Lakeside Arts, University of Nottingham is deeply grateful for the donation in loving memory of Everard and Ida Berry that has enabled the purchase of a new Steinway Spirio D concert grand piano.

Not only is our piano a sublime musical instrument, it is capable of live performance capture and playback – creating whole new ways to access and share 'live' performance. We are proud that the Djanogly Recital Hall is the first UK concert hall with this technologically advanced instrument.
