Dear Carolina Ballet Friends and Neighbors,

For the past decade, Carolina Ballet has had the privilege of performing with world-class pianos, thanks to our exclusive piano provider, Ruggero Piano. Each year, these instruments — along with Ruggero Piano’s entire inventory of new and pre-owned pianos — are made available to the public at preferred institutional pricing to support the Ballet.

This year’s benefit sale includes a large selection of pianos, including grands, baby grands, concert grands, uprights, hybrids, digitals, and player pianos from leading brands such as Yamaha, Bösendorfer, Schimmel, Estonia, Clavinova, Steinway, Kawai, and more. Every piano includes free standard local delivery, tuning and technical services by Ruggero Piano, plus four tickets to a Carolina Ballet performance of your choice. Special financing will be available including 0% APR for up to 24 Months. Appointments are available Thursday through Sunday, May 14-17, at Ruggero Piano: 4720-120 Hargrove Road. Raleigh, NC 27616.

We also invite you to join us for upcoming performances of Celebration of America (April 23–26) and Beauty and the Beast (May 14–17).  Both performances will be accompanied by live music. Visit carolinaballet.com for more information and tickets.

We are grateful for the opportunity to perform with exceptional pianos and hope you’ll take advantage of this unique opportunity. Your purchase will directly support Carolina Ballet and help sustain our commitment to artistic excellence in our community.

Warmly,

Adam Schiffer | Chief Operating Officer

Customer Reviews

I want to thank you for your hospitality when I visited, your responsiveness when I wrote and your flexibility to help us make a purchase I am truly ecstatic about. We have really enjoyed the new piano in just the week we have had it. My little girl has already gotten curious and started working through lessons on one of the apps. I also wanted to thank you on another front. I am an NCSSM alum and I just saw a post on the new piano they purchased from you all. It truly made my day to see that they had worked with you all for this new addition! Thank you for your support of the arts in our schools and with a piano that can truly help others learn in a new era where remote lessons are so critical. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you all and I look forward to continuing to do so for a long time to come. - Joe Sewell
