For more than 10 years, a 1930 former bishop s house on the property of Davenport s Trinity Episcopal Cathedral has stood vacant, not a practical home for today s clergy.
Now, though, this large, nearly 5,000-square-foot limestone building is springing to new life, becoming home to the Quad-City Music Academy, a nonprofit founded last year to give music lessons.
The academy is the brainchild of Hannah Holman, principal cellist for the Quad-City Symphony Orchestra, a cellist with the New York City Ballet Orchestra and resident of Iowa City, who for the past several years has dreamed of improving the quality of music instruction in the Quad-Cities and making it available to talented youth who might not otherwise be able to afford it.
