First Thursdays @ the Athenaeum
11:30 AM - 1:30 PM
On April 1, acoustic guitarist Peter Biedermann (www.peterbiedermann.com) will be performing. Peter has been writing and performing original instrumental music for over 30 years. While his music covers a number of genres in the electronic and acoustic fields, his performance on April 1 will focus on original acoustic fingerstyle pieces in unique tunings on various 6 and 12 string guitars. Peter lives in Butler, NJ. Good music and good food, reasonably priced in a nice setting.
Andy Bonacci, Chair of the WSC Music Dept., and Pamela Leigh, owner of Lydia's Gathering Place, have combined forces with the Athenaeum to present this lunchtime music series on the first Thursday of the month at 12 noon.
Pamela is offering salads, sandwiches (Ham, Turkey, Chicken Salad) in box lunches, with a cookie, pickle and chips, and delectable desserts for $8 - $10. Bottled water will also be available. People can also bring their own brown bag lunches.
