I need to find a concert grand piano that has a player piano function in a concert hall that can be used to record an operatic tenor
 

Shortlist (concert hall + self-playing concert grand)

1. UCLA – Herb Alpert School of Music (Schoenberg Hall), Los Angeles

• Evidence of instrument: UCLA purchased a Yamaha DCFX Disklavier PRO concert grand (the CFX with integrated high-resolution record/playback).

• Hall: 522-seat Schoenberg Hall (excellent acoustics, main concert venue).

• Why it fits: True concert hall + top-tier Disklavier PRO suitable for accompaniment/locking to click/MIDI or capturing and immediate playback for takes.

2. Colburn School – Zipper Hall, Downtown LA

• Hall rental available; Zipper Hall is a premier acoustic room in the LA arts district.

• Instrument note: Colburn is a major conservatory with Steinway concert grands; ask specifically if a Steinway Spirio | r (Model D-274) is available for sessions. (Spirio | r is Steinway’s high-resolution record/playback system, also offered in the full concert-grand D.)

3. San Francisco Conservatory of Music (SFCM) – Bowes Center / concert halls

• Multiple new halls and state-of-the-art recording facilities; venue rentals for performances/recordings.

• Instrument note: SFCM runs a world-class piano program; confirm availability of Spirio | r or Disklavier in the hall you book. (Spirio | r details for reference.)

4. University of Alabama – Moody Concert Hall (out-of-state example, proven Disklavier PRO use)

• Documented use of DCFX Disklavier PRO on stage for live masterclasses/remote performance — indicates the hall supports the hardware and workflows.

5. Carnegie Mellon University – Kresge Theatre (reference for Disklavier festivals/tech)
