Jeannette Ritchot has had a deep passion for music her entire life, and now she gets to share it with the city for years to come.
In order to spread her wealth of musical love, Richot has donated her Yamaha Clavinova piano, worth $1,500 to the Watson Art Center.
"I donated this piano for different reasons. For local piano players to come in to play, and for local piano teachers to use for their students for lessons and recitals, and also possibly a piano concert. i also know this piano is going to be a legacy that I have left behind."
The piano does have a plaque, right above middle C, where you can see the words "kindly Donated By Jeannette Ritchot October 2023", where her legacy will be etched for time immemorial.
Ritchot sends a message to every avid player in the city, come out to the open mic nights, or any opportunity you can to play this wonderful instrument.
She looks forward to hearing it sing it's tune time and time again, but in its new home at the Watson Art Center.
