Pianist Donna Beech from Kennett Square will be giving two local lecture-recitals this week to mark the release of her book "Piano Music of Ann Wyeth McCoy": at
3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 1, at Lower Brandywine Presbyterian Church (at the intersection of Old Kennett Road and Route 52), and at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 3, at the Ware Recital Hall in the Swope Music Building at West Chester University. The suggested donation is $5 for the church concert; the university concert is free.
Donna writes: "Few people know that Ann Wyeth McCoy -- sister of world-famous
painter Andrew Wyeth, daughter of American painter N. C. Wyeth, wife of
painter John McCoy -- was a composer and an accomplished pianist, in
addition to being a gifted painter, and that music
was a very important part of the Wyeth household."
Donna's book includes 12 of McCoy's piano works, reprints of the N. C.
Wyeth paintings that inspired her, and commentary linking
the two genres.
