The KC Public Library sponsored a Chopin tribute for this 200th Birthday year--Meggar and I are on a roll with these events. We attended with our entire family and especially enjoyed the piano solos woven into the segments of the talk. John Tibbetts, an associate professor of film, shared his multi-media presentation that focuses on four film biographies of the Polish composer. By contrasting the movie elements which stretched the truth with his own historical research, Tibbetts taught all of us more about the life Chopin lived. In addition, we heard three of the many compositions he is famous for played by Dr. Matt Edwards. Following the question-and-answer time, we spoke to Dr. Edwards as well as Margie Cameron-Jarrett. It's beautiful to see all these connections falling into place for Meggar with the piano world.
