440 Keys: A Reunion
Update: 2011-03-19
Description
Kennesaw State University will honor the generosity of Dr. Bobbie Bailey with “440 Keys: A Reunion,” a gala concert featuring five Steinway pianos, the KSU Orchestra directed by Michael Alexander and the KSU Jazz Ensemble directed by Sam Skelton. The concert will celebrate Bailey's gift of Steinway & Sons pianos to Kennesaw State and to Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.
In October 2007, the university celebrated the opening of the Dr. Bobbie Bailey & Family Performance Center and the delivery of a single Steinway D concert grand piano, donated to the school by Bailey. At the opening concert, Bailey surprised college officials by announcing her plans to donate an additional 26 Steinway pianos. The gift earned Kennesaw State the designation as an All-Steinway School. This title means all of the pianos used by the school are designed by Steinway & Sons, a brand internationally recognized as the epitome of quality craftsmanship. Four of these pianos—the concert grand pianos used in the Bailey Center—are named in honor of members of Bailey's family: “Miss Mary” for her mother, “Mr. Elbert” for her father, “Miss Ann” for a family friend and “Mr. Henry” for her grandfather....
