Bruce McLeod, former moderator of the United Church of Canada
Mr McLeod's words of tribute: "Our oldest family friend, the refurbished Steinway, has found a new home. Blocks away, I heard my mother playing it in 1929. Memories tumble - singsongs, lessons practising Bach and Gershwin. Now a culminating future on Avenue Road. Fresh fingers, hearts, harmonies await - more music keeping us all in tune."
 

Admired Toronto philanthropist, Jeannie Tanenbaum, donated this wonderful Steinway Grand Piano built in 1926
