Founded in 1949, the internationally renowned Aspen Music Festival presents classical music in an intimate, small-town setting. Steinway & Sons worked with renowned marquetry master Silas Kopf to create this artistic masterpiece from Figured Sapele, Aspen veneer and marquetry depicting the festival's signature Aspen leaf motif. The result is a breathtaking art case piano befitting the splendor of the festival itself.
Silas Kopf
East Hampton, Massachusetts
While in the program of marquetry at the world-renowned Ecole Boulle in Paris, Silas made an indelible impression on his teachers and fellow students. They were impressed with his masterful woodworking skills, his originality, and how quickly he learned the classic techniques of marquetry.
Since his return to the States, Mr. Kopf has frequently had his work exhibited at One Person Shows at the Gallery Henoch in New York City. His work has also been featured at the Museum of Fine Arts in Springfield, Massachusetts, the Yale University Art Gallery, in publications such as American Woodworker and Les Chefs d'oeuvres de la Marquetrie. Mr. Kopf's art case pianos are a testament to the originality and perfection he brings to every one of his creations.
