OLD PIANO FINDS NEW HOME AT CULTURAL CENTER

A generous donation from Chicago Journeymen Plumbers and Technical Engineers Local Union 130 has brought a new piano to the Cultural Center in Orland Park. Previously housed at the Plumbers Union Hall in Chicago, the concert grand piano was built in 1928 by Charles A. Harddorff, during the golden age of piano making. Orland Park Mayor Dan McLaughlin is an avid carpentry enthusiast and is helping to bring new life to the piano. “It really is a treasure that many will now be able to enjoy at the Cultural Center,” said the mayor. Although not a “new” piano, it is new to the Village of Orland Park and artists/residents can look forward to hearing beautiful music from it in the near future.
