WORLD-CLASS STEINWAYS AND AMAZING TECHNOLOGY The prestigious All-Steinway School designation identifies those universities and conservatories that have made the commitment to use only Steinway and Steinway-designed pianos in the classroom, practice, and performances spaces. This commitment ensures that all music students, faculty, and visiting artists have access to the world’s finest pianos.
FIU Professor and Artist-in-Residence Kemal Gekic chooses the exclusive Steinway Spirio Piano.
To date, we have acquired 13 Steinway grand pianos and 29 Steinway upright pianos. The latest addition to our Steinway lineup is perhaps the most special: The Spirio. The Steinway Spirio is a high-resolution player piano capable of capturing live performance and playback through the mechanical action of the piano, rather than simply recording audio. According to Director Dr. Karen S. Veloz, "The Spirio is a game changer. When a school has a Spirio Steinway piano, it possesses a remarkable instrument that combines the timeless craftsmanship of Steinway with cutting-edge technology, offering an unparalleled musical experience for students and faculty." The piano's technology allows pianists to record, edit, playback, search, save and share their performances in a high-resolution format, including remote interface. Performers with a Spirio can be seen and heard— even halfway across the globe. This real-time capability with exact replication enables FIU students and faculty to listen and watch performances by international concert artists on FIU's own Spirio.
