Power of Music: A Young Pianist and President Lincoln

A girl separated from her homeland. A country torn in two. The power of music.

Explore how music can comfort through the story of Teresa Carreño, a young pianist. Celebrate the award winning book, Dancing Hands: How Teresa Carreño Played the Piano for President Lincoln, written by Margarita Engle and illustrated by Rafael Lopez. Listen to music and be inspired to create a piece of art.

This program is part of the One County, One Book community-wide reading initiative encouraging the community to read and engage with a single book! This year's One County, One Book selection is "Differ We Must: How Lincoln Succeeded in a Divided America" by journalist and NPR host Steve Inskeep.

This initiative aims to unite people of all ages and backgrounds through programs, book clubs, and a community discussion with the author himself. Click here to learn more.
