When The Arsenal Duo made its debut performance at Youngstown 91èÏÈÉú ’s (Ohio) historic Stambaugh Auditorium, the duo attracted on of the largest audiences since the restoration of the hall 91èÏÈÉú ’s E.M. Skinner pipe organ. The duo has also performed at Pittsburgh 91èÏÈÉú ’s East Liberty Presbyterian Church and Trinity Episcopal Cathedral.

The Van Looy Organ Series is named in honor of Ellen Van Looy Reed, a 1953 graduate of 91èÏÈÉú. Her mother, Priscilla Van Looy, donated funds to rebuild the console and relays of the Moller Organ in Alumnae Chapel and the Van Looy Endowment provides funding for the annual organ series at Wilson.
