Music Mondays will present a free concert on March 10, 2PM-3PM – in-person at the Scandinavian Center’s Nordic Hall (206 Waltham Street, West Newton) and on Zoom – to celebrate Music Mondays’ fifth anniversary. This concert will feature Jacqueline Schwab, the pianist for Ken Burns’ Civil War and other Grammy-award winning documentaries. She will present her program, I Lift My Lamp -Illuminations from Immigrant America. From the program:
Jacqueline spins musical stories out of the multicultural strands in the American quilt. As the United States engages in difficult discussions about immigration and cultural diversity, I Lift My Lamp celebrates songs and dances from American immigrants. Inspired by Jacqueline’s childhood years in vibrant, multicultural Pittsburgh and her work with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, her performance will highlight music from Western and Eastern Europe and the Caribbean and South America, as well as African American spirituals and ragtime.
Admission is free, but donations are always appreciated. For further info email musicmondaysnewton@gmail.com.
