NASHVILLE, Tenn. - ncarol.com -- Nashville, TN – Continuing the mission of Music City Chopin's Metro Nashville Piano Donation Program that launched in November and December 2024, Gibson Gives—the philanthropic division of Gibson the iconic global instrument brand—has generously expanded our program by gifting three stunning Baldwin Grand Pianos to Metro Nashville schools. These instruments have now found new forever homes at Park Avenue Elementary, Margaret Allen Middle, and Antioch High Schools.

"We are so excited and grateful that Nashville Chopin and the Piano Rainbow Program have provided this incredible opportunity for students to have a grand piano in our school. It is so beautiful, and the students were elated as soon as it was delivered. We can't wait to use it!" said Andy Mizell, teacher at Margaret Allen Middle School.

Recognizing the success of last year's efforts, Gibson Gives—led by Global Executive Director Erica Krusen—stepped in to amplify the initiative with additional support. "We are deeply grateful to Erica Krusen for seeing the impact of our initiative and stepping in to amplify it," said Graciella Kowalczyk, Artistic Director of Music City Chopin. "Our mission is to spark creativity and hope in our communities, and these pianos have the power to do just that."

Of particular note, the piano gifted to Antioch High is dedicated to the loving memory of a life tragically cut short in a late January 2025 incident. Through music and art, we sincerely hope that healing and recovery are already taking root. We believe the power of music can guide communities forward, and we are honored to play a small part in returning joy to those who need it most.
