Heurich (Open) House: Back to School Children's Hobbies

On Friday, September 6th from 5:00 - 8:00 pm during <a href="https://firstfridaydupont.org/">First Friday Dupont</a>, join us for Heurich (Open) House: Children’s Hobbies! It’s back to school season, we’re taking you into the lives of the Heurich kids.  Chris Jr. (born 1901), Anita (born 1905),  and Karla (born 1908) attended Western High School, the building that is now the Duke Ellington School of the Arts, and while they all learned how to play the piano at home they had their own hobbies after school as well; Chris Jr. and Karla played sports, Karla played the violin, and Anita read (a lot).  The children played on an upright piano in their playroom. Although we do not have that piano in our collection, the Museum regularly tunes the Model C Steinway piano in the music room. To celebrate their hobbies, pianist <a href="https://jayfrostpiano.com/">Jay Frost</a> will play during the evening and staff will highlight objects in the house and photos from the archives. This is an open house, guests are invited to come at any point in the evening. This event is free. RSVP is requested, but not required.Last entrance at 7:45pm.
