THE CHURCH OF THE EPIPHANY
Since Epiphany was founded in 1842, music has played a vital
role in the life of the parish. Today, Epiphany has three 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 ÆolianSkinner 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. The 3-stop chamber organ
by Orglarstvo Škrabl of Slovenia was commissioned in 2014 in
memory of Albert and Frances Manola.

The Tuesday Concert Series reaches out to the entire
metropolitan Washington community. Most of today’s freewill offering goes directly to our performers but a small
portion helps to defray the cost of administration, advertising
and instrumental upkeep.
