THE TUESDAY CONCERT SERIES THE CHURCH OF THE EPIPHANY Since Epiphany was founded in 1842, music has played a vital at Metro Center role in the life of the parish. Today, Epiphany has two fine musical instruments which are frequently used in programs and worship. The Steinway D concert grand piano was a gift to the church in 1984, in memory of parishioner and vestry member Paul Shinkman. The 64-rank, 3,467-pipe Æolian- Skinner pipe organ was installed in 1968 and has recently been restored by the Di Gennaro-Hart Co. It was originally given in memory of Adolf Torovsky, Epiphany’s organist and choirmaster for nearly fifty years.
