Pianist Jacqueline Schwab will present “Making Magic with Ken Burns” at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 18, in Cohen Hall at Keene Public Library, 60 Winter Street, Keene.
Schwab, whose playing appears in Ken Burns documentaries including “The Civil War, Baseball, Benjamin Franklin” and “The American Revolution,” will perform music from those soundtracks along with other works inspired by Burns. The program will include “Ashokan Farewell,” “Be Thou My Vision,” “Tenting on the Old Campground,” traditional Celtic tunes, spirituals and ragtime.
Schwab also will discuss Burns’ collaborative approach to music and how it is used in documentary storytelling.
