Avenue Black Box Theater Receives Piano Signed By Alicia Keys

Written by on September 2, 2020

Avenue Black Box Theater is now the proud owner of a Steinway Boston 126E upright piano that was signed by 15 time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys.

Andy Nahas won the turquoise piano at an auction to support “MusiCares COVID-19 Relief” and later decided to donate it to the local theater.

He gave a press release, saying:

“Having performed professional style concerts at nursing homes for over 25 years, I am aware of the power of music to change lives. I can’t wait for whoever gets this piano to feel the magic inside of it, and for us to continue to support and love each other.”

The piano was originally owned by Keys, and the auction raised over $30,000 for the cause.

Avenue Blackbox Founder and Artistic Director Reenah Golden reached out for a statement, saying:

“We’re grateful and honored this gorgeous piano will now have a home in a space that believes deeply in the power of music and performing arts to change lives. We know its legacy will live in the hearts of generations to come.”
