ance in Petaluma, Gottschalk became the subject of interna- tional scandal when he was ac- cused of romantic trysts with a young female student in Oak- land. Faced with an onslaught of negative publicity, he trav- eled to South America where he continued to perform, compose and conduct mostly his own much- loved music until his death on December 18, 1869.
The concert will take place Monday eve- ning July 27th at 7:30 pm. Pi- anists Marilyn Thompson and Antonio Itur-
rioz will perform 2-hand and 4-hand pieces by Gottschalk.
Admission is $10 general seating, $15 balcony and free to students. Tickets are avail- able at the Petaluma Historical Museum, 20 4th Street in Peta- luma, phone (707) 778-4398 or from their website: www.
