lois beusser...now in its third year, the amazing Lois will entertain you with her dazzling keyboard skills, enhanced by a company of talented artists.

This year’s show includes Lois’ “essential” classical keyboard repertoire, including an ebullient piece by Gottschalk and Chopin’s exciting Scherzo in B flat minor. Additionally, you’ll hear an engaging piano medley and eccentric vocal and instrumental escapades performed by her friends.

Her talents have taken her around the country, doing solo concerts and performing with the likes of Zubin Mehta, Rio Clemente, Susan Powell and Bob Hope. Lois performed on USO tours in Europe and Asia and currently directs music at numerous local theaters. When she is not busy with her music and Boonton Township family, Lois finds time to use her keyboard skills to lead the parishioners of St. Mark’s Church in Basking Ridge, NJ.
