A Moment of History
In the summer of 2026, as the world celebrated 250 years of American independence, France sent a message. Not through words, but through music. Beneath the gaze of the Statue of Liberty, pianist Silvia Zanetti performed on an Alpange, broadcast live on ABC, Disney, and France TV.
An instrument born from French craftsmanship and innovation, on the world's most iconic stage.
This was not a coincidence. The symbolism ran deep. Liberty herself, a gift from France to America, found her voice through a piano born from the same spirit: a dialogue between two nations, two cultures, two expressions of human freedom and aspiration.
France offered the Statue of Liberty in 1886. One hundred and forty years later, the gesture was renewed. Not in stone this time, but in music, in light, in the air over the harbor.
A Dialogue of Lights and Legacy
Beneath the Statue of Liberty, Alpange proved that French excellence knows no boundaries. That France's only piano manufacturer stood at the foot of Liberty that evening was not incidental. It was the natural conclusion of a long conversation between two nations, one that has always, at its best, been conducted through culture, through art, through the things that outlast politics.
Beneath the gaze of the Statue, in front of millions of viewers, an Alpange did not seek attention. It simply played. And that was enough.
"When France and the United States stand together and create things together, like the Statue of Liberty or like this show, it can become unforgettable."
Cedrik Fouriscot, French Consul General, New York
What Alpange Represents
Alpange is not simply a piano. It is the culmination of fifteen years of uncompromising research and development, a synthesis of French craftsmanship and modern innovation, not to recreate what came before, but to imagine what a piano should be today. Handcrafted in France, each Alpange embodies a commitment to acoustic and artistic excellence.
It represents the values that define France itself: an unrelenting pursuit of beauty and perfection, a belief that artistry and technology can exist in perfect harmony, and a conviction that true luxury is about depth and emotion.
An avant-garde object that does not break with the piano's heritage so much as it carries it somewhere new. Conceived for a generation for whom the past is a reference, not a constraint.
Play at the Peak
Alpange does not accompany history. It takes part in it. When it played beneath Liberty's gaze during the celebration of 250 years of independence, it reminded the world that France's greatest gift is not a statue, but the spirit of excellence that inspired it.
With our gratitude to the Élysée and the French Consulate General in New York, and to Monumental and Mickael Canitrot, for making this evening possible.
