7 PM on Wednesday, October 28, 2026 “Pittsburgh Parlor Songs” presented by Brady Collins
Looking for a pleasant evening filled with turn-of-the-century music which was composed and played right here in Pittsburgh? Then, the West Jefferson Hills Historical Society is pleased to offer just what you are seeking. Local historian and musician, Brady Collins, will fit the bill with her October program "Pittsburgh Parlor Songs."
In her presentation, Ms. Collins will discuss the Pittsburgh music publishing scene of the early Twentieth Century and highlight several songs of that era. These songs reflect the news stories, thoughts, and feelings of the time. The audience will not only hear the stories about songs such as My Youghiogheny Girl, In the Valley Where the Allegheny Flows, Pittsburgh, You're a Grand Old Town and others, but will also be able to enjoy the performance of several of them as well. Ms. Collins will bring a pianist or recordings so that the audience may enjoy the music about which she speaks in her program.
You don’t miss out on this delightful, free program presented at 7:00 PM, October 28 in the Community Rooms of the Jefferson Hills Borough Building.
