Every second Sunday of the month, Darien Library and pianist Zachary Saffa will team up to bring you a one-of-a-kind concert experience. Up-and-coming musicians will perform uninterrupted, followed by an open lesson for all to enjoy.

During the Studio Showcase, you will see first-hand how music teaching has a transformative effect over the course of open instruction. The Showcase will culminate in a closing performance from the instructors.

Refreshments will be served.
