George Gershwin and His Times

Memorable music by composer George Gershwin (1898-1937) as well as ragtime, jazz, and classical music will be performed by the all-volunteer Jack London Piano Club on Charmian London’s 1901 Steinway piano at Jack London State Historic Park. Even before she met Jack London, Charmian was an accomplished pianist. She initially purchased the 1901 Steinway on an installment plan. After receiving a hefty sum from his publisher, Jack gave Charmian $500 to finish payment and bring the piano to the ranch, where it became the center of entertainment for the London’s many guests.

Seating is limited, and reservations are recommended. The performance venue is located on the second floor of the House of Happy Walls Museum and can be reached by stairway only. For more information about accessibility concerns, call 707-938-5216.
