Event Details
Pianist Jacqueline Schwab, heard on Ken Burns’ new PBS documentary series The American Revolution, his Grammy-award winning Civil War and many others, will perform her newest program Be The Light at the Northshore Unitarian Universalist Church, 323 Locust St, Danvers, MA 01923, at 4:00 p.m. Inspired by noted poet Amanda Gorman’s quintessential words, "Thereis always light, if only we're brave enough to see it, if only we're brave enough to be it," Be the Light celebrates music embracing hope, inner strength and change. Jacqueline’s program features traditional Celtic airs and dance tunes, vintage American parlor music, Tin Pan Alley pieces, spirituals, Ukrainian, Cuban, Venezuelan and Brazilian music and more—an oasis of quiet reflection, peace and joy in these challenging times. Jacqueline will share stories about how historical tunes can speak to us today and help create a ripple effect in the world. Sona Minasian, NSUU's Music Director, will open the concert with a collection of Armenian Folk Dances compiled and arranged for piano by composer and ethnomusicologist Komitas Vardapet. Join us for an afternoon of musical healing and connection!
