Music Study Club opens year with violin, piano duet program

Piano and violin artists will perform together Wednesday, Oct. 13, for the first program of the Demopolis Music Study Club for the 2021-2022 year.

Pianist Marsha Harrow received her bachelor’s degree from Livingston University (now UWA) and a master’s degree from the University of Alabama, both in Music Education. She has taught in public and private schools in west Alabama her entire career, including a private piano studio. 

At Judson College she served as accompanist for voice students and choir, teaching private and group piano students and teaching classes in Music History and Form and Analysis.  She has also been choir director, pianist and organist for Greensboro Presbyterian Church for 40 years, as well as substituting in other churches in the community. 

Birmingham native Meg Ford is an environmental advocate, educator and freelance musician — and loves searching for the intersections between the three. She’s been on the education staffs of Scrollworks, the Alabama Symphony Orchestra and Mason Music School.

Her lifelong passion for conservation has led her to her current work with Alabama Audubon Society, where she now serves as coordinator for Audubon’s Black Belt Birding Initiative.

When she’s not connecting with birds and birders in her current home of Greensboro, she loves playing violin, performing with Red Mountain Theatre Company, Sanspointe Dance Company and bands and artists in a variety of genres.
