THE ENCHANTED PIANO

Widely regarded as an artist with a passionate voice and an adventurous spirit, pianist ELIZA GARTH has championed some of the most demanding works in the repertoire. Among these are the complete solo piano works of the Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Donald Martino, which she has recorded on two nationally acclaimed CDs for the Centaur label.

A graduate of the Juilliard School, Ms. Garth is a founding member of the Chamber Players of the League of Composers/ISCM in New York City, and is in frequent demand as a guest artist. She is a member of the music faculty at St. Mary’s College of Maryland.

She has been recognized twice by the Maryland State Arts Council with the Individual Artist Award, most recently in 2010 for her performance of John Cage’s Sonatas and Interludes.

SHALL WE GATHER…

a documentary and musical arts video •
Eliza Garth, Executive Director

Planned for release in the fall of 2025

 

During the past winter and continuing this spring, members of two historic Southern Maryland communities – one traditionally black, the other traditionally white – have come together to share stories, seek mutual understanding, extend the hand of reconciliation and friendship, and express their hopes for the future.

“Shall We Gather,” a professional video about these gatherings, will be shot in the Valley Lee area this June. Directed by Naeem Cobb of Forever Media, it will tell the story of Bethesda United Methodist and St. George’s Episcopal, two historic churches in Valley Lee, Maryland, and how their stories echo throughout society in Southern Maryland and our nation today.  “Shall We Gather” will be made available to school, civic, and church groups, as well as historic societies. Eliza Garth is the Executive Producer.

The St. Mary’s County Arts Council, the Southern Maryland Folklife Center at St. Mary’s College of Maryland and private donors, recognizing the importance of this conversation, are providing financial support.
