Upcoming events

• Sun, Nov 1, 2 PM The Haunted Hall – Ames Hall Gothic Series

  Pianist Eleena Gelfgatt performs a 45-minute solo concert entirely by candlelight in historic Ames Memorial Hall, part of the Ames Hall Gothic Series. The program pairs seasonal classical repertoire with the atmosphere of Salem in October. Gelfgatt holds a Master’s degree in Piano Performance and Pedagogy from the National Music Academy in Kyiv, Ukraine, and made her Carnegie Hall debut in 2018. Good to know: The hall is lit by candlelight, so lighting stays low throughout. There is no intermission. Running time 45 minutes. All proceeds support Creative Arts programming and scholarships at the YMCA of the North Shore.
