Dear All,
Pushkin House has asked me to let you know that they are raising funds through an online auction to enable them to own their own grand piano
https://www.jumblebee.co.uk/APianoForPushkin
“We’ve never owned an instrument, instead we’ve always had one loaned to us. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters so far we’ve raised over £4,000. With this auction we aim to get closer to our end target of £25,000. The piano is the beating heart of our renowned music programme, which presents rarely heard Soviet and Russian composers and gives a platform to emerging talent alongside well-known names. Happy Christmas bidding and thank you!”
