KEN BURNS’ PIANIST JACQUELINE SCHWAB IN CONCERT

VINTAGE AMERICAN AND CELTIC MUSIC FOR SOLO PIANO

AT UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIST CONGREGATION OF ATLANTA

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2013, 7 PM

Pianist Jacqueline Schwab, heard on over a dozen PBS documentaries by film maker Ken Burns, will perform her solo piano, signature arrangements of vintage American and traditional Celtic music at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta, on Monday, September 30, 2013, at 7 pm.

Schwab’s improvisatory arrangements draw on classical, traditional folk, and contemporary music roots. Her program will feature lively traditional Celtic and vintage dance tunes, as well as more reflective vintage American “heart songs”---Stephen Foster and Civil War tunes, hymns and spirituals—plus ragtime, blues, and tango. She will also feature her arrangements of waltzes and Celtic airs from her recently-released solo CD True Blue Waltz, Jacqueline enjoys speaking about the music to audiences, in the spirit of “parlor music.”

Jacqueline sets moods and tells stories with her music. “Jacqueline Schwab brings more feeling and intensity to music than anyone I know,” Ken Burns said. “Her playing is insistent, physical, heartfelt and ... unusually moving.” She has been heard on over a dozen of Burns’ documentaries, including his Grammy award-winning Civil War, his Emmy award-winningBaseball, The West, Frank Lloyd Wright, Lewis and Clark, Mark Twain, Not for Herself Alone—The Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, The National Parks and Dust Bowl. Schwab performed at the White House for President Clinton, celebrating Burns’ Lewis and Clark documentary and (with Scottish singer Jean Redpath) on A Prairie Home Companion and The Late Show with David Letterman. She also performed and was interviewed on John Birge’s Giving Thanks, which aired nationally on public radio on Thanksgiving Day, 2012. She has four solo recordings and has performed on many more. Her latest are: In Klezmer, a duo CD with clarinetist Clayton March, released Nov., 2012, and True Blue Waltz, a solo CD released March, 2013 (partly funded through Kickstarter), as well as three collaborative CDs of Civil War-era music. Schwab lives in Massachusetts, on Cape Cod.

Schwab's Monday, September 30, 2013 concert will be at 7 pm, at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta, 1911 Cliff Valley Way NE, Atlanta, GA 30329. Suggested donation is $12, payable at the door. For more information, contact (404) 275-0419
