About This Event
The Music House Museum welcomes back pianist Peter Bergin for a concert he calls "The American Parlor". It hearkens back to the days before radio and even the phonograph, where the primary location for entertainment for the family, and even the neighborhood, was by the piano in the parlor room. Music publishers supplied the sheet music to fuel the entertainment, and families took it from there. The music will include popular tunes from the era, including "I Love You Truly" by Carrie Jacobs-Bond, American classical music by Louis Moreau Gottschalk, and classic ragtime by Scott Joplin, Joseph Lamb, and others. Seating will be limited, so please purchase your tickets here!
