FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Pianos, digital pianos, violins, violas and cellos offered at significant discounts on the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, with proceeds helping fund scholarships for music students
AURORA, Colo. — November 10, 2026 — The Rockley Family Foundation, a Colorado nonprofit dedicated to supporting music education, will hold the CU-Anschutz Musical Instrument Sale Friday, December 4 through Sunday, December 6, 2026, at the Fulginiti Pavilion for Bioethics and Humanities on the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, 13080 East 19th Avenue in Aurora. The sale is presented in partnership with the campus’s Center for Bioethics and Humanities and is open to the public.
Since the pavilion opened in 2012, it has had the use of new first-class pianos at no cost through the partnership between the Center for Bioethics and Humanities and the foundation. Instruments provided to institutions, and others made available for the event, will be sold at a significant discount from new retail pricing to keep the program going and to provide scholarship money for music students. The selection includes grands, baby grands, player grands, vertical (upright), hybrid and digital pianos, along with violins, violas and cellos, from makers such as Steinway & Sons, Yamaha, C. Bechstein, Seiler, Roland and Italia Violins. Most instruments are less than one year old, include a five- to ten-year service contract, and are tuned and ready to enjoy. Delivery and special no-interest financing are available on site.
“The Fulginiti Pavilion has shown for more than a decade how much live music adds to a place devoted to medicine and the humanities,” said Tobin Rockley, Director/President of the Rockley Family Foundation. “This sale lets families across the Denver area bring home a first-class instrument while helping keep that partnership, and scholarships for student musicians, going.”
Private appointments are available Friday, Saturday and Sunday, December 4–6, giving shoppers priority in both selection and price. Appointments can be reserved at rockleyfamilyfoundation.org/CUAnschutz or by calling or texting (303) 879-2443. Virtual appointments via Zoom are available if required. The final sale day, Sunday, December 6, is open to walk-in shoppers from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m., no appointment needed. Paid parking is available northeast of the building in the Georgetown Visitor Lot.
In most cases, a substantial portion of a purchase may be considered a charitable contribution to the Rockley Family Foundation. Buyers should consult their own tax adviser regarding the individual deductibility of any contribution.
