Street pianos come out to (be) play(ed)

After hibernating all winter, the inaugural Fredonia Street Piano Project pianos returned to area locations on May 11.
Each piano was named by the artist: “Beneath Us, Between Us” (Erin Ruffino, '19), will be in Barker Commons; “Camo Drip” (Christy May, '21), will be placed outside the west entrance to Mason Hall on campus; and “Polka Dot Piano” (Jodie White, '17, '19, '23 and Stephen McChesney, '20, '22), will be at the Dunkirk Boardwalk.
Buffalo-based Big L Windows & Doors, the primary sponsor of the inaugural year of the Fredonia Street Piano Project through the Fredonia College Foundation, is also connected to SUNY Fredonia. Bill Horbett Sr., president of Big L Windows & Doors, and Tom Walker, retired marketing director of the company, were part of the Department of Theatre Arts in the 1970s.
