Jack Loondon Park Springtime Piano Concert
2:00 PM
Jack London State Historic ParkPark
Description:
Say hello to the spring solstice with an afternoon concert of springtime music. The Jack London Volunteer Piano Club will present an uplifting concert designed for all musical tastes. Spend the day at the park starting with a refreshing hike on one of our 30 miles of trails or take the free 11:00 docent tour to the Wolf House. After the concert, end the day with a yummy dinner at one of the dining venues in the Sonoma Valley, for a day to remember!
The piano concert will take place on Charmian London’s 1901 Steinway baby grand piano on the second floor of the House of Happy Walls museum. Even before she met Jack London, Charmian was an accomplished pianist. She initially purchased the 1901 Steinway on an installment plan. After receiving a hefty sum from his publisher, Jack gave Charmian $500 to finish payment and bring the piano to the ranch, where it became the center of entertainment for the London’s many guests.
Refreshments will be served outdoors under the portico at intermission.
Since 2011 the Piano Club has presented quarterly concerts, raising over $20,000 to benefit operations at the Park.
WHEN: Sunday, March 19, 2023, 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm
WHERE: House of Happy Walls Museum, 2nd floor
ADMISSION: $20 includes parking fee
Note: Limited seating available. Performance space can be reached by stairway only; for more information about access, please call (707) 938-5216.
