On this page, we will share with you a number of previously-recorded performances by Patrick C. Vida on the actual piano from Olympic that we are trying to preserve. We hope you enjoy them!

All of the music recorded in the videos below really shows precisely what we are trying to preserve: a historic piano with ties to Titanic. This is the sound of the Olympic-class ships and their era. We are attempting to preserve the instrument and its sound in a safe environment for future generations of Titanic and music history enthusiasts to enjoy.

“The White Star Line Quintet” was formed in September 2024. Their first album, “An Evening To Remember”, was released on March 3, 2025, and is now available on music streaming service worldwide.

All proceeds from this event will be used to help the RMS Olympic Steinway Association reach its goal of raising the remaining purchase price for the piano from RMS Olympic’s á la carte Restaurant Reception Room. This debut event will be held virtually on Zoom. Attendees will be able to:

Meet the five musicians who have formed the new musical ensemble, as well as Titanic and maritime historians
Participate in a Q&A session with the musicians and historians
Concert event will last approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, including performances, historical commentary, and Q&A session

Tickets are €25 per tie-in connection. Please be sure to supply your Zoom screen name of choice when you purchase your ticket so that we can admit you to the concert.

Ticket price will directly support the goals of the RMS OLYMPIC STEINWAY ASSOCIATION. Tickets are non-refundable.
