"Sounds of the Neighborhood" with the Fred Rogers Institute

The Fred Rogers Institute at St. Vincent College is hosting a concert that features the pianos of Fred and Joanne Rogers on Wednesday, June 3rd at 7:30pm! The Institute's Director, Emma Swift Lee, speaks with Jim Cunningham about the evening. The concert will feature pianists Gloria Cook and Cynthia Lawing, and marks the first time these pianos have been played publicly. Gloria and Cynthia will start the evening with "It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" by Fred's nephew Daniel Crozier, an arrangement of music from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. The rest of the program has been selected by the pianists and remains a surprise. "Sounds of the Neighborhood" is just one of many events happening in Latrobe throughout the week of June 1st. It is part of Mister Rogers Family Days, includes a farmers' market, children's story times, art & magic shows, and an illustration workshop with WQED's own Joe Wos! The concert is free to attend, and guests are highly encouraged to register online beforehand. More information about the event and the registration form are available on the Fred Rogers Institute's website.
