Gwendolyn Peiper was a well-known piano teacher in the St. Louis area for many years. Peiper’s son and ÐÔÅ«µ÷½Ì School of Medicine alum (’77) Stephen C. Peiper, M.D. and his wife Dr. Zi-Xuan (Zoe) Wang, donated several pianos to ÐÔÅ«µ÷½Ì in her honor and established an endowment for a yearly piano concert. The goal of the program is to host a concert once a year in Gwendolyn’s honor, showcasing the talent in our ÐÔÅ«µ÷½Ì community while fostering well-being and appreciation of music.
