Ulrich Gerhartz in Rare U.S. Teaching Appearance The Seattle Chapter's annual one-day seminar on March 20, 1999 will feature a rare US appearance by the head UK concert technician for Steinway & Sons, Mr. Ulrich Gerhartz. Ulrich trained originally at the Hamburg Steinway factory, and since assuming his current post at Steinway Hall, London, he has been lauded consistently by the world's greatest pianists for his excellent work. A profile on Ulrich appeared in the August, 1998 Journal. Ulrich's presentation will consist of a full day of actual concert preparation on two pianos, a Hamburg Steinway and a New York Steinway. Ulrich will explain and demonstrate the differences between these two animals, and will involve class members in the actual work of regulating and voicing them. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn first-hand from a master piano technician and gifted teacher. Don't miss it! The seminar will be held in the Studio Theater of the University of Washington's Meany Hall. Park in the underground garage (enter on 15th Ave. NE, one block north of 40th street), and ask directions at the gate house. The morning session begins at 9:00 a.m., followed by lunch at noon. The afternoon session begins at 1:00 and goes till 5:00. The cost for the day (including lunch) for non-Seattle-Chapter members is $50 at the door, or $35 if a reservation is made by March 13.
