The Monadnock Folklore Society will present a concert and contra dance celebrating the renovation of the historic Chickering grand piano at the Peterborough Town House, 1 Grove St., on Sunday, April 19.
The event begins at 3 p.m. with performances by the Monadnock Chorus, Dan Sedgwick and Marjorie Gere, Virginia Eskin and Ben Cosgrove. Laurie Indenbaum, fiddle, and Larry Siegel, piano, will close the concert with tunes by Bob McQuillen.
A contra dance follows at 5 p.m. with Steve Zakon-Anderson calling and music by the Sugar River Band and the Open Band.
Admission is free, with donations welcome to support the Monadnock Folklore Society and the piano.
Built in the 1890s by Chickering & Sons, the piano was given to Peterborough for the Town House opening in 1918. The 11-month restoration was funded through state grants, private foundations and individual donors.
