She studied piano with William Kurzban, composition with Jan Bender, and Dalcroze Eurhythmics with Elsa Findlay.

Cynthia has performed with the Hong Kong Philharmonic, Orquestra de Macau, the Charlotte Symphony, the Wittenberg University Symphony, Davidson College Symphony Orchestra, The Cleveland Institute of Music Orchestra, the Springfield Symphony, the Piedmont Concert Band, the Western Piedmont Symphony, and the Salisbury Symphony.

Cynthia has performed notable private recitals, including an Inauguration concert for Vasco Leotte de Almeida Costa, Royal Governor of Macau, and a private recital for Madame Chiang Kai-shek. She regularly performs internationally with her husband, William Lawing, Estes Millner Professor of Music at Davidson College. Over the past three years, concerts have included recitals in Chile, Hong Kong, The Netherlands, Germany, China, and Taiwan.

In addition, she is a member of a duo-piano team with Gloria Cook, her sister. They perform recitals, concertos, and conduct master classes both in the United States and abroad and have performed several world-premiere works. A member of the Bechtler Chamber Music Ensemble, she can be found performing regularly in Charlotte and around the region.

Cynthia frequently serves as a clinician and adjudicator and has served on the board of North Carolina Music Teachers Association. She also serves as a church organist and choir director and has written many works for choir. She studied at the Cleveland Institute of Music and the Wittenberg University, and earned her M.A. degree at Case Western Reserve University.

GLORIA COOK, PIANO Gloria Cook holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music. She is a winner of many competitions, including the Cleveland Institute Concerto Competition, the Springfield Symphony Concerto Competition, and the Ohio Federation of Music Clubs State Competition.

FEATURED ARTIST of Winter Park. She has played in chamber music concerts at Tanglewood Music Festival and Charleston Piccolo Spoleto Festival.

Cook’s research of Edvard Grieg’s piano works led to many performances, presentations, and publications in the U.S. as well as at the Edvard Grieg International Conference at Bergen, Norway.

Dr. Cook served as the Piano Professor at Rollins College for 26 years. Twice during her tenure she chaired the college’s curriculum committee, where she discovered the importance of “teaching my students beyond the keys.” That meant teaching discipline combined with an understanding of the world, including its people, cultures, and languages.

“Only by becoming global citizens and responsible leaders along with lots of preparations and discipline can students successfully communicate the universal language called music…The performing, the teaching, and the enjoyment of music can enhance life, create peace, and connect people. What a wonderful language we have under our fingers. We need to use it more.”

That philosophy earned Gloria Cook the prestigious Rollins College’s Cornell Distinguished Faculty Award, which recognizes a commitment to outstanding teaching.

LYNN PEGHINY, HARMONIUM Lynn Peghiny earned her Piano Performance degree from the University of Central Florida where she studied with Dr. Gary Wolfe. A passion for choral music led to Lynn’s position as accompanist for the Bach Festival Society of Winter Park under the direction of Dr. John V. Sinclair.

She was honored to perform in concert with Morten Lauridsen and Julia Foster in collaboration with the Bach Photo credit: Courtesy of the Artist Festival Choir. Lynn is enthusiastic about the field of collaborative piano and was thrilled to perform recently with Grammy© award-winning vocalist Sylvia McNair. Lynn is a fabulous talent with sight-reading and superb facility in any musical genre.

In addition to performing, Lynn is a dedicated teacher with a studio consisting of 57-plus piano students at Lake Highland Preparatory School in Orlando, FL. In addition, she is on staff for the Nord Anglia Education Summer Camp based at the Windermere Preparatory School. She is a member of the American College of Musicians/National Guild of Piano Teachers and the National Federation of Music Clubs. Lynn is in constant demand in the Central Florida area as an accompanist for OCPS major choral events, plus rehearsal pianist for various performing dance and art groups.
