GRAVES PIANO CO ANNOUNCES NEW PARTNERSHIP TO STRENGTHEN LEGACY AND PLAY ON
Graves Piano Co, a cornerstone of Central Ohio’s music and arts community for over 60 years, is thrilled to announce a transformative new chapter in its esteemed history. Under its Founder Paul Graves, followed by grandson Zach Graves, the company grew to become one of the Midwest's largest and most well-respected piano institutions, earning the prestigious appointment as the region’s exclusive Steinway dealer.
Today, Graves Piano Co is proud to announce a strategic partnership with a group of like-minded individuals who share the company’s vision and commitment to quality and excellence. The partnership also appoints a new CEO, Rebecca Hurd, to lead the business in this next chapter.
“We are incredibly excited about this new partnership,” said Zach Graves, partner of Graves Piano. “By joining forces with individuals who share our passion for music and our dedication to quality, we are poised to build upon the strong foundation my grandfather established and drive the business forward into a promising future.”
“Graves has been a trusted partner in our community for over half a century serving musicians, teachers and families, and local arts and educational institutions. We are eager to honor the company’s history while innovating for the future. With the talented and dedicated team in place, we look forward to continuing the quality and excellence that have been core to the Graves brand throughout its history,” said Rebecca Hurd, Partner & CEO of Graves Piano.
Friends and family celebrated this new chapter at a private open house reception hosted at Graves earlier this month. The gallery continues to welcome guests to help with all ranges of piano needs, and the recital hall continues to host musicians and local studio recitals.
