Nocturnes & Lullabies
A Livestream Recital
Emma Mildred Riggle, piano
October 9, 2020
6PM PST
In times of loneliness and anxiety, music can offer quiet and comfort. With that ministry in mind, we’re offering a livestream recital of gentle piano music for eventide.
This will be a relaxing event, streamed from Emma’s home, with a selection of music played on an antique Steinway piano. The livestream can be your background for reading a book, sipping a cup of tea, lulling your baby to sleep, or just unwinding at the end of the day.
Admission is free. Tips will be gratefully accepted via Venmo at @EmmaMRiggle or at paypal.me/EmmaRiggle.
