Anderson<br />
&<br />
By Wally Fa<strong>as</strong><br />
Pianists Greg Anderson and Elizabeth Joy Roe play together. Yes, they<br />
play the piano together, but they also “play” when they perform. At le<strong>as</strong>t<br />
that’s what it looks like at times <strong>as</strong> they fl<strong>as</strong>h smiles at each other while their<br />
fingers fly over the keyboard performing their transcriptions of music <strong>as</strong><br />
varied <strong>as</strong> Schubert and Rachmaninoff, to Coldplay, Radiohead, and Michael<br />
Jackson. One critic said, “[Anderson & Roe] swept the audience into a<br />
cheering m<strong>as</strong>s of humanity, making a strong c<strong>as</strong>e that playing the piano<br />
is the most fun thing that two people could ever do together.” It’s not all<br />
fun and games, though. Anderson & Roe can express the throes of genuine<br />
griefwith Vivaldi’s “I Feel Within a Rain of Tears,” for example, on their<br />
CD called When Words Fade.<br />
Anderson & Roe will perform in <strong>WQLN</strong>’s lobby on Monday, February<br />
11 at noon and will be broadc<strong>as</strong>t live on <strong>WQLN</strong> Radio, but you’re invited<br />
to witness their command of the keyboard and their playfulness and pathos<br />
in person <strong>as</strong> a member of the live audience. And, if you are in the live<br />
audience, you could win a pair of tickets to Anderson & Roe’s performance<br />
at Mercyhurst University that night.<br />

By Kathy Kathy CCarducci<br />
Do you know of a young budding author eager to write and illustrate his<br />
or her very own story? In January, <strong>WQLN</strong> Education and the Northwest Tri-<br />
County Intermediate Unit kicked off the annual local-national PBS KIDS GO!<br />

their creativity while building the literacy skills necessary for academic success.<br />
Judging will take place in April, and 12 local winners will be selected. First place<br />
winning stories will air on <strong>WQLN</strong> TV-54, receive a free <strong>WQLN</strong> Kids Club<br />
membership, and have their stories entered into the national contest with a<br />
chance to win great prizes, including tablets, e-readers, and MP3 players. Local<br />
winners will see their entire stories on wqln.org, and all entrants will receive a<br />
complimentary issue of Highlights magazine. Everyone’s a winner! A reception<br />
honoring the local winners will be held in May. The deadline to submit a story<br />
is March 29. Visit www.<strong>WQLN</strong>.org/Writers for more infotmation.<br />
