The Boston Early Music Festival Exhibition 2019
As part of the Boston Early Music Festival Exhibition, Anne rented the Charles Shubert ballroom at the Courtyard Marriot Downtown Boston with the dream of turning it into a unique display and performance space for keyboards, builders, and players. She included builders Doug Maple (clavichords), A. David Moore (organs), and Robert Hicks, as well as two early keyboard organizations, The Westfield Center for Historic Keyboard Studies and The Historical Keyboard Society of North America. The center of the room was set up for concerts which occurred daily. It turned out to be an amazing salon that went on all day every day of the exhibition! It was also the debut of the Hood/Acker replica of an 1816 Nannette Streicher piano.

March 25, 2010: Anne’s German harpsichord plays with The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center Players in Thomasville, GA
John Gibbons performed with a fine array of other soloists from the The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in the historic Cultural Center in Thomasville, Georgia. The all baroque program was recorded and should appear on the air at some point. John and the harpsichord sounded divine. I’m always very pleased with how well this instrument holds its own, while blending, and how well it records.
Savannah Children’s Choir Performances in England
We had a wonderful whirlwind trip to England, staying in one of the dorms at the historic Sherborne School.
I had the pleasure of accompanying the choir for their beautiful performance at the Sherborne Abbey. We had the youngest choir both in ages of the children and years of existence of the choir. They performed so beautifully, the other conductors were moved to tears.
The joint concert of all the visiting choirs at Wells Cathedral the next night was beyond spectacular!
Photo Shoot for Kohl’s / Mudd Jeans at Wormsloe Plantation
My 1884 upright Chickering piano was selected as part of a national level photo shoot. It was certainly an interesting and long day.
Well, I’m always pleased when pianos or harpsichords get attention.
