(we know it won't snow this time!!)

World reknown pianist Virginia Eskin and the "NH Chronicler" John Gfroerer will be joining us to share their experience in the making of the remarkable documentary film about composer Amy Beach.

Beach was also a native to NH and gained fame as one of the first and few women composers of her era.

We will begin promptly at 7pm with a short introduction by Virginia and John and we will be screening film itself at 7:15pm.
Afterwards, there will be open Q&A with them and light refreshments.

New Hampshire resident, is a classical pianist with a large and varied repertoire. She has championed and recorded music written by American composers (Edward MacDowell, Arthur Foote, George Chadwick, George Gershwin and many others); women composers such as Amy Beach, Ruth Crawford Seeger, Louise Talma, Marion Bauer, and Vítìzslava Kaprálová; and music written by composers who perished during the Holocaust.
Virginia has also gained a reputation as a ragtime specialist and has found and recorded neglected works by American women. She created the “Ragtime Project” consisting of four CDs on the KOCH label and has appeared at the annual Scott Joplin Ragtime Festival in Sedalia, Missouri.
