Tuesdays At Tudors Concert Series Returns To Gates Mills

From the Gilmour Academy: Gilmour Academy’s special series, Tuesdays at Tudor, returns on Tuesday, June 19 at 6 p.m., with a special concert series featuring Megan-Geoffrey Prins, from Riversdale, South Africa. Prins is currently a doctor of musical arts candidate at the Cleveland Institute of Music.

Praised for his technical prowess, imaginative interpretation, and keen sensitivity, Prins has received numerous awards from competitions in South Africa and abroad, including first prizes at the UNISA 120th Anniversary Competition, the inaugural Stellenbosch International Chamber Music Festival Competition, the 5th UNISA National Piano Competition, the 2016 Muziq Instrumental Competition and the 2017 SAMRO Overseas Scholarships Competition.

The event is free and open to all. Guests can RSVP here! Please contact Jacqui Lundi at (440) 473-8000 x1204 or lundij@gilmour.org with any questions.

This concert series is made possible through the sponsorship and loyal generosity of Gilmour alumnus and current parent, Matthew P. Figgie ’84, Figgie Capital and The Figgie Foundation.

The Steinway that will be played for this concert is one of five Steinway grand pianos provided through scheduled donations by Matthew P. Figgie ’84, Figgie Capital and The Figgie Foundation. The school is in the process of being designated a Steinway Select K-12 School. This unique distinction means that every piano on Gilmour’s campus will soon be replaced with a new Steinway & Sons grand piano. Gilmour is the first private K-12 school in the Midwest and only the eighth in the country to have made this commitment to date.

The Steinway Select K-12 designation is a prestigious one bestowed upon qualifying institutions that consist of kindergarten through 12th grade and is an extension of the All-Steinway School honors that Steinway & Sons grants to the world’s best colleges, universities, conservatories and schools of music.
