Daniell Revenaugh

In 1973 Revenaugh became the first General Director of the Institute For Advanced Music Study in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, a full scholarship international programme with faculty which included Zino Francescatti, Gregor Piatigorsky, Ib Lanzky-Otto and Rudolf Kempe.

Daniell Revenaugh invented and patented a lower lid for the grand piano, which projects the sound more effectively.

It has been used in concert by pianists such as Martha Argerich, Peter Serkin, André Watts,[1] Radu Lupu and Alexander Toradze.

[2][3] In the 1980s he created the Classical Cabaret, which performed solo and chamber works to the accompaniment of jugglers, paddleballs, yo-yos, Indian clubs and fire eaters.

He was involved in a project to convert opera composer Carlisle Floyd's former home in Tallahassee, Florida into an artist's residence.
