The University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College created the Steinway Series this year to bring internationally recognized pianists to the Valley, showcase local musical talent, and support the university’s acquisition of a new $85,000 9-foot Steinway Concert Grand Piano. Along with the rare opportunity to enjoy music of such high caliber in South Texas, patrons of the new series also will be supporting music education in the Rio Grande Valley.
