Following the overwhelming response to our inaugural summer concert series “Tuesdays at Tudor,” we are pleased to announce that we will be continuing our guest musical artist series this fall. Open to the public, “The Gilmour Academy Concert Series,” featuring locally and internationally renowned artists, is generously sponsored by loyal Gilmour alumnus Matthew P.

In December 2016, three new Steinway pianos were delivered to Gilmour Academy’s Lower School, beginning the process of Gilmour becoming a Steinway Select K-12 School. This unique distinction means that every single piano on campus will soon be replaced with a new Steinway & Sons grand piano. Gilmour Academy is the FIRST private K – 12 school in the Midwest and is only the EIGHTH school in the ENTIRE COUNTRY that has made this commitment to date. In June of 2017, two more Steinways were delivered to campus: a Steinway grand piano for the Chapel, and a Steinway Spirio grand piano to Tudor House. The purchase of these beautiful instruments were all made possible through scheduled donations from Matthew P. Figgie ’84, Figgie Capital and The Figgie Foundation.
