Spearheaded by CSC Board Chairman, Ed Coyne, the “Piano in the Parlour” series is held in the historic, turn-of-the-century
Grace Memorial Parlours at Centenary College. The series has been made possible in part through generous donations made by
CSC patrons to restore the 100-year old Steinway grand piano. Matching funds for restoration came from the Van Winkle Trust
for the maintenance of musical instruments at Centenary College, and local sponsor, Paul Simone and Vienna Piano for donation
of the mini-stage for piano presentations.
