Mothers and Children: A Mother's Day Concert of Hope and Peace, with Jacqueline Schwab

Join pianist Jacqueline Schwab for an afternoon of vintage American music celebrating Mothers Day with songs of Love, Hope, and Peace. Jacqueline Schwab's evocative playing infuses the soundtracks of Ken Burns’ films, including his Grammy-winning Civil War, Baseball, Lewis and Clark, Mark Twain, The War and The National Parks, as well as the PBS documentary The Irish in America and others. She has performed at the White House for President Clinton, and she has accompanied Scottish singer Jean Redpath on public radio’s A Prairie Home Companion and on CBS’ Late Show with David Letterman. She recently collaborated with The American Pops Orchestra, for their Oct. 29, 2022 American Roots PBS special. As a solo pianist, she has performed vintage American music in almost every state of the union. In concert, Jacqueline enjoys sharing her wide repertoire of familiar old tunes, what Mark Twain would have called “remembrancers,” and speaking about the power of music to transport us into our own past and on to new horizons.  Jacqueline is making her second visit to play the grand piano at GPL, having performed here in 2018.
