Richard Amir entertained locally in early March. He was such a hit, the Acton Woman’s Club invited him to perform for the public in the upstairs ballroom of their Federalist-style antique Clubhouse. Richard’s performance is a blend of music and storytelling. After a 40 year career in business, Richard taught himself to play the piano at age 66 and discovered a new career. This free performance is offered to the public to celebrate the 110th Anniversary of the founding of the Acton Woman’s Club, with financial support from the Acton/Boxborough Cultural Council.
