In Honour of David Rose’s 80th Birthday

David has always had a deep love of music—and a special admiration for the piano. In celebration of his 80th birthday, friends are invited to honour David by supporting a cause close to his heart: the Piano Technology program at The Royal Conservatory of Music. Your gift will help sustain this essential program, which ensures that generations of musicians at the Conservatory continue to experience the beauty of finely tuned, expertly maintained instruments. It’s a fitting tribute to David’s lifelong appreciation for craftsmanship, artistry, and the enduring power of music.

Proper care for pianos – including labour, parts, supplies, and tools – requires a significant financial commitment. The goal of the program is not only to maintain our fleet of over 100 instruments, but also to expand our current inventory to include a larger variety of pianos. The Conservatory is grateful for your support of this program in honour of David.
