"Jacqueline Schwab brings more feeling and intensity to music than anyone I know. Her playing is insistent, physical, heartfelt... unusually moving" -Ken Burns

"Jacqueline Schwab is one of the most immediately recognizable pianists in America, although very few people actually know who she is."-Scott Alarik, Boston Globe

Meet Jacqueline Schwab, a folk and classical improvisational pianist who plays "gorgeously spare piano" (The Boston Globe) yet "sounds as if she has an orchestra at her fingertips" (Sing Out). Chosen by the renowned Ken Burns for numerous public television documentaries due to the emotional expression in her playing, Jacqueline has performed on the soundtracks for the Grammy award-winning Civil War, the Emmy award-winning Baseball and Mark Twain, among others. She has performed at the White House for President Clinton in 1997 to celebrate Burns' Lewis and Clark series and also at the Smithsonian in 2000 celebrate its exhibition on the Presidency. In May, 2009, she accompanied Scottish singer Jean Redpath, on the Late Show with David Letterman.  

Please note: This is not a BYOB event.  This special concert is being held upstairs, not in Union Hall.  A champagne and Falcone Chocolate Reception will be held in Union Hall, immediately following the performance.
