Mother: Sarah Frances Stonebraker
Geroge Piner was the son of a local merchant in the small community of Kelseyville, California. He was a handsome man who had always enjoyed music and possessed a remarkable voice. George's early training was received by singing in a church choir and participating in local programs. He attended the local music academy before going to San Francisco and Europe where he could futher fis voice lessons.
George met Corabelle Knight in 1904, also a student of music in Europe. The two were married in Lodon, England and continued their education in Europe.
The couple toured Europe, where they were in great demand. They were billed as Signor Giorgio Pinero and Signorina Coria Bellini because most Europenas felt Americans lacked sophistication and polish. As " The Great Pinero" and "Coria Bellini", they entertained the Euopeans heads of state and received many exquisite gifts in appreciation of their outstaing talents.Wherever the Piners entertained, they collected beauiful art treasures, tapestries, and fine furnishing that later went into thier Nob Hill home in San Francisco.
In 1915 George Piner suffered an accident and could no longer stand on the concert stage, so he and Corabelle opened their own academy of music in San Francisco. They later bought a vacation residence in George's hometown of Kelseyville, Ca where the couple would bring their students each summer. The Piner did not have any children; their students were their family.
In 1930 Kelseyville became the Piner's permanent home, they continued to teach music and have recitals until their health began to fail. Corabelle died in July 1952, and George died the following day. Their love for each other was so great that one could not live without the other.
