The Town of Sackville is honouring a celebrated pianist for her contributions to the local arts and culture scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday, Janet Hammock is being inducted into the Sackville Arts Wall, overlooking the Waterfowl Park on Main Street. A jury selects new inductees every two years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hammock, who holds a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from Yale University, has been named Arts Builder, which recognizes citizens or groups that have “made a significant contribution to the cultural and artistic development of our community.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, CHMA interviewed Hammock at her sunlit studio, which is brimming with books and scores of music. You can hear highlights from the interview here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This report includes clips from an archived recording of Hammock performing \u201cSonatas and Interludes for Prepared Piano\u201d by the American composer John Cage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also includes Hammock playing \u201cPri\u00e8re,\u201d a song or fragment written by the French composer Erik Satie, recorded in Hammock’s studio on Friday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She dedicated that song to Sackville resident Vallie Stearns-Anderson, who died last week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
