Shirley Knight performed in Hamden, CT at Quinnipiac University April 12, 2007, a "Portrait of Amy Beach in Seven Vignettes." The work follows Beach, a child prodigy who started composing at the age of 4 through six women in her life. Beach was the first American woman to write a symphony and a Mass. Following the performance, classmate, Dr. Wendell Piehler of New Haven met with Shirley and recalled highlights of her career and future plans. Wendell will be in Lyons in May for the Baccalaureate service and Shirely will return about a month later to receive a State of Kansas award.
