Join us for an evening of piano music with renowned pianist Jacqueline Schwab!
Jacqueline will play music from her extensive work with Ken Burns and discuss and illustrate the magic of working with this talented documentary maker. “Jacqueline Schwab brings more feeling and intensity to music than anyone I know. Her playing is insistent, physical, heartfelt and … unusually moving,” comments Ken Burns.
