Josephy Center Presents: Freestyle Piano

Introducing our 2nd annual presentation of local pianists in the county, on our baby grand at the Josephy Center for Arts and Culture. There's a small wealth of amazing pianists living in Wallowa County that we are happy to showcase at this fundraiser for the Center. All donations go directly toward supporting art classes, the library, lectures and exhibits at the center. Classical, romantic, impressionist, and jazz pieces will be performed, in addition to some original compositions. Last year was such a smashing success, don't miss it!

Gail Swart, or Mrs. Music, was the longtime Enterprise Elementary music teacher, and is now retired living on the south end of Wallowa Lake.
