We are thrilled to announce today’s launch of our partnership with Little Island, NYC’s breathtaking new park on the Hudson River. Little Island will feature two new SFH Pianos created by noted artist, architect, and educator Jieun Yang — one upright that will be open for anyone and everyone to play, and one special Steinway grand (donated by SFH Board Vice-Chair Andrea Jung) that will serve as the instrument for the park’s 700-seat open-air amphitheater.
You may remember Jieun Yang’s beautiful 2019 SFH Piano, which had its 2019 summer home at Four Freedoms Park on Roosevelt Island and now lives at Port Authority Bus Terminal. At this link, you can take a peek at Jieun’s beautiful design, entitled “Reflections.” Her design was selected by the Little Island team from submitted proposals, and it is based on her synthesis of the forms and colors of Little Island’s unique architecture and Hudson River location.
