Hi Everyone,
An exciting free piano concert will be occurring in Knoxville Tennessee on December 9, 2023 at 7:00pm. It's a special one- time, small private informal venue so all seats are R.S.V.P. Below are the details.
Pianist bio:
Forrest Halford, a native of South Carolina who has now spent most of his life in Bowling Green, Kentucky, came to piano technology after buying a Baldwin L grand piano that needed a lot of work. An autodidact with a love of unequal temperaments, he learned to tune and repair pianos and fell in love with the process. He has been playing music for most of his life, and definitely should be better than he actually is.
