Immaculata University is a Catholic, comprehensive, coeducational institution of higher education, located on the Main Line between Malvern and Exton, 20 miles west of Philadelphia.

As one of the greatest pianists of the 20^th century, Vladimir Horowitz (1903-1989) was a Russian classical pianist and composer.  His personal touring Steinway Concert Piano (the CD 503) was used in his historic return to the Soviet Union to tour in 1986.  In the new atmosphere of communication and understanding between the USSR and the USA, these concerts were seen as events of political as well as musical significance.  Horowitz also used the CD 503 piano on his final album.

B&N, professional piano movers, arrived at Immaculata at 9 a.m. and began “parading” the pianos into the buildings on campus.  Two grand pianos, a Steinway M and a Steinway S, were delivered, as well as 13 upright pianos.  A Steinway D Piano will be chosen directly from Steinway’s headquarters in New York City and delivered at a later date.
