Concerts in Baghdad...on a donated grand piano.
If music is the universal language, then the message emanating from a Steinway concert grand piano at a concert today in Baghdad, Iraq, was one of friendship and support.
The Iraqi National Symphony Orchestra performed its first concert today at the Baghdad Convention Center since its new grand piano arrived last month.
Steinway & Sons offered to donate the piano after the orchestra performed here with the Washington National Symphony Orchestra.
Steinway responded to a National Endowment for the Arts plea for companies to donate instruments to the Iraqi orchestra, which floundered under Saddam Hussein.
