The Music Behind the Ken Burns Documentaries

Pianist Jacqueline Schwab has been heard on more than a dozen PBS documentaries by film maker Ken Burns who calls her playing “…insistent, physical, heartfelt and…unusually moving”. You can hear for yourself Friday night, October 4th at 7:30 pm in Presbyterian Church of the Covenant in Greensboro. Jacqueline’s performance will feature traditional Celtic music, Civil War tunes, hymns and spirituals, ragtime, blues and even tango.
