St. Paul's Concert Series is back from its summer break, and we are absolutely delighted to kick off our Fall concert season with pianist Mira Armij Gill, with special guest violinist Francisco Salazar in a delightful performance on Saturday, August 29 at 7:00pm. Known for her spectacular poetic and inspiring performances around the world, Ms. Gill brings absolute magic to the stage. Inspired by her recently-released album Piano Works of Samuel Barber, the concert will highlight Barber’s Nocturne Op. 33; Excursions Op. 20; and Sonata, Op. 26 as well as his Canzone Op. 38 for Violin and Piano, featuring Salazar on violin. When performed recently at Carnagie Hall in New York, praise abounded of Gill’s Barber Nocturne, which “held truly inspired moments, ending with the trill that was absolutely transporting.” Also noted was the "moving rendition of Barber's achingly beautiful Canzone by Ms. Gill with her husband Francisco Salazar." This spectacular duo will also include duets by Gershwin, De Falla, Di Martino, Gliere, Beach and Kreisler to name a few. Join us at 1924 Trinity Avenue, Walnut Creek. No tickets necessary. Donations accepted (avg $30/$10 students). For full program visit stpaulswc.org/concert-series.

Quakers were among the earliest settlers in North America and often the earliest settlers in newly-opened territory. They were amazing record-keepers: births, marriages, deaths, those who came into their local meetings and those who left, transgressions by members were publicly discussed and recorded, and as they came to believe that slavery was evil their records on Quakers who kept slaves became extensive. Learn about their history and how to find the rich records they left behind.
