On a quiet street in Torrington, Connecticut, is an historic church, just minutes from downtown. It is here that a bit of old Paris has been recreated as Studio 59, a performance gallery. Owner and founder Timothy Alexandre Wallace has transformed this quaint old church into a setting reminiscent of an Eighteenth Century European drawing room, complete with comfortable wing-back and parlor chairs. The centerpiece is a magnificent German Steinway concert grand piano with a breathtakingly rich and clear sound.
Take a step back in time and place to enjoy private concerts, presentations of works of art, poetry readings and other special events that embrace the elegant ambiance of a long forgotten era.

Timothy Alexandre Wallace, pianist, organist, composer, gifted improviser, music director, artist, poet, visionary and entrepreneur, began his formal study of the piano at age nine while living in his native state Texas. He produced his first solo piano recital as a high school student and progressed to Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, graduating with a degree in Piano Performance. While there, he studied with Alfred Mouledous (pianist with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and protoge of Walter Geiseking) and also studied at Eastfield College with Pierrette Mouledous (a student of Alfred Cartot at the Paris Conservatory of Music).
Mr. Wallace has performed throughout the United States as a soloist, both
in recital and as guest artist with orchestras. As an accompanist, he has worked with choral ensembles and dance companies including serving as Principal Accompanist for the Dallas Ballet Conservatory, Nutmeg Ballet and staff accompanist for the Joffrey Ballet Workshop San Antonio. Additionally he has served as both accompanist and/or music director for theatres, including a national tour with Theatre Three, Dallas. His compositions include vocal (solo and choral) and instrumental works (solo, chamber & orchestral), some of which were commissioned works.
Mr. Wallace has served as a church musician for nearly thirty years ranging in capacity from organist, choir master, and hand bell director to Music Director. His wide range of experience in the music world combined with his unique creativity brings an exciting approach to sacred music. "Music is one of the greatest gifts of all, for in it is the capacity to most fully express the vast richness of life itself - the greatest work of our Creator."
In the summer of 2005, Mr. Wallace purchased an historic former church, circa 1888, in Torrington. This was an exciting opportunity to fulfill a life-long dream of having an acoustically superior performance space. With the purchase of a German Steinway concert grand piano having a particularly rich and sonorous tone, he opened Studio 59 to the public with a concert series in 2007. In September 2008 he expanded his private teaching into the Alexandre School of Piano, one of only two known private schools of piano in the United States. In 2010, his first recording, A Gift and The Desire, was released under his recording label, AlbaRose Recordings.
Currently he holds positions as a private piano instructor at the Gunnery and Indian Mountain School, private schools in Northwestern Connecticut. Also as a dance accompanist at HARTT, The University of Hartford. He teaches a Music Appreciation class at UCONN, University of Connecticut.
