 House Concert Saturday April 5 7:30 p.m. in our music room!!!! |
Pianist Jacqueline Schwab is appearing in a house
concert here in the Krantz music room at 151
Elliot's Hill Lane, Lexington, VA April 5 2008 at
7:30 p.m.
If you have experienced any of the PBS film series
The Civil War, Baseball, Mark Twain, or The War,
you have heard the pianist, Jacqueline Schwab. In
the words of documentary filmmaker Ken
Burns, “Jacqueline Schwab brings more feeling and
intensity to music than anyone I know.”
Jacqueline will be appearing in Lexington on
Saturday, April 5, at 7:30 p.m. at a house concert
in the home of David and Linda Krantz in a
performance, The Music of Americana. She will
also perform at a house concert in Charlottesville
on Sunday, April 6.
Schwab can be heard on the soundtracks for a dozen
of Ken Burns’ PBS documentaries, including his
Grammy award-winning Civil War, his Emmy award-
winning Baseball, Mark Twain, and his recently
premiered The War. Schwab’s improvisational
playing, in turns elegiac and sprightly, draws on
classical, traditional folk, and contemporary
roots. The New England Folk Almanac wrote, She
plays with “the jazz/classical improvisational
spirit of Keith Jarrett and the touch of George
Winston ....”
She has performed music from Burns’ Lewis and
Clark series for President Clinton at the White
House and has also performed presidential music at
the Smithsonian. She records and performs with
many traditional musicians, including a long-
standing partnership with the English dance music
quartet Bare Necessities, as well as with Scottish
fiddlers Alasdair Fraser and Laura Risk, as part
of the Scottish duo New Rigged Ship, and with
singer Jean Redpath (including an appearance on A
Prairie Home Companion). Jacqueline has three
solo recordings: Mad Robin, Down Came an Angel,
and Mark Twain’s America, as well as a recording
of Civil War-era music to be “played” on modern
digital pianos. For more information on
Jacqueline's work, see:
http://www.jacquelineschwab.com.
Schwab’s solo concerts of vintage American and
traditional Celtic and English music create an
intimate, “parlor” atmosphere. For this concert,
she will perform her signature arrangements of
American music of Mark Twain’s era: well-known
Stephen Foster and Civil War parlor songs, Scots
and Irish tunes brought over from the Old Country,
Victorian ballroom dance tunes, hymns and
spirituals, ragtime and more. Jacqueline speaks
informally (but knowledgeably) to the audience
about each of the pieces, highlighting the
history, origins, folklore, and popular culture,
making each one memorable.
Tickets for the Krantz house concert may be
reserved by e-mailing lkrantz@cfw.com. Eighty
tickets will be available. When all tickets are
spoken for, there will be a waiting list only. A
donation basket will be placed in the music room;
the suggested ticket value is $15/person. There
will be one short intermission; soft drinks will
be served. For questions or reservations please
write to lkrantz@cfw.com. Informal, comfortable
clothing is appropriate in the Krantz music room.
