Steinway Society of Massachusetts

The Steinway Society of Massachusetts is devoted to fostering a love for the piano by supporting and nurturing young pianists. For many years, our annual Steinway Society of Massachusetts Piano Competition has been a hallmark event. After thoughtful deliberation, we have decided to transform this year’s event from a competition to an audition. This change reflects our commitment to expanding the reach of The Steinway Society of Massachusetts and engaging a broader audience. Stay tuned for more information about the 2025 Steinway Society of Massachusetts Auditions, which will be available on January 22nd. For questions, please contact christinad@steinwaysocietymass.org
