Pandemic gives pianist Janice Weber time to finish her eighth novel
Keith Powers / Correspondent
Perhaps you started a novel. Maybe you began studying some new music, like that Scriabin or Prokofiev you’ve always intended to learn.
Maybe you’re a presenter and a musician, and had to navigate the new Zoom-concert world to keep things together.
The pandemic has done this to most performers. For Janice Weber, it’s what she’s always done.
Weber is a prolific author her latest novel recently finished, and circulating for a publisher. She’s an accomplished pianist for decades a mainstay of the Boston Conservatory faculty, and a respected soloist throughout the world.
