SUMMARY:Ben Folds - And A Piano Tour at the Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall
DESCRIPTION:Ben Folds – And A Piano Tour at the Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall\n\nTuesday\, June 9th\, 2026 | This event is for all ages. \n\n\n91.3 WYEP & Drusky Entertainment presents: \nBen Folds – And A Piano Tour \nTuesday\, June 9th\, 2026 \nDoors: 7:00PM / Show: 8:00PM \n\nCarnegie of Homestead Music Hall (Munhall\, PA) \n\n\n*All tickets subject to day of show price increase. Prices at the ticket link reflect the all-in ticket price (face value + fees) – minus any taxes / credit card processing fees. \nAbout Ben Folds: \nBen Folds is an Emmy-nominated singer-songwriter who has created an enormous body of genre-bending music that includes pop albums with Ben Folds Five\, multiple solo albums\, aholiday album\, and numerous collaborative records. \nHe currently tours as a pop artist\, while also performing for over two decades with some of the world’s greatest symphony orchestras. \nFolds\, who served for eight years as the first ever Artistic Advisor to the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) at the Kennedy Center in Washington\, DC\, stepped down from his post when Donald Trump announced his takeover of the Center. On October 25 and 26\, 2024\, just days before the US presidential election\, Folds recorded two sold out performances with the NSO which he released as a live album in July which debuted at the top of the Billboard classical and classical crossover charts. \nA New York Times Best Selling author\, Ben also creates new music for film\, tv and theatre\, with original new music he composed to be featured in an animated Peanuts special airing this summer on Apple TV. \nIn 2022\, he launched a music education charitable initiative in his native state of North Carolina entitled “Keys For Kids\,” which provides funds and keyboards to existing nonprofits that offer free or affordable piano lessons to school-age children from economically-disadvantagedhouseholds. For the past 15 years he has been an outspoken advocate for arts funding\, music education and music therapy in the US as a member of Americans For The Arts and the Arts Action Fund. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSeating Chart (click to view)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nCarnegie of Homestead Seat Map (click to expand)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuilt in 1898\, the Carnegie Library of Homestead was constructed by William Miller and Sons of Pittsburgh at a cost of $250\,000. The second of three libraries built here in the Mon Valley\, the Carnegie Library of Homestead was built for use by the common man but adorned with grandeur and opulence fit for a royal family. The Carnegie Library of Homestead is the oldest Carnegie library in continuous operation in its original structure in the US\, and was chosen by CNN in 2014 as one of the 27 most fascinating libraries in the world to visit. Unique to other libraries\, it also is home to a full-service athletic facility and grand concert hall. \nAlso known as the Carnegie of Homestead\, its modern mission is to provide programs and facilities that enhance learning\, wellness and quality of life within and outside the Steel Valley. Today\, we serve over 17\,000 residents of Munhall\, Homestead\, West Homestead\, Whitaker\, and families in nearby communities such as West Mifflin\, Lincoln Place\, Hays\, Greenfield\, Squirrel Hill\, Duquesne and more. The Carnegie of Homestead uplifts and improves the lives of youth\, families and the elderly\, by serving as a community activities center for families and groups throughout the Mon Valley. \nThe Library holds 3\,000\,000 county-wide items in collection including books\, audiobooks\, DVDs\, CDs\, newspapers\, magazines and eResources. There are nearly 7\,000 cardholders (35% of our residents) and on average 733 people visit daily. 30 computers provide over 30\,000 online access sessions annually by the general public\, including disadvantaged individuals who cannot afford home computers and online services. The library holds over 1\,000 learning programs annually in which almost 20\,000 participate of all ages. On any given day\, a variety of activities are happening: toddler and children story time\, arts and crafts; science and art classes for homeschooled children; literacy outreach & book distribution to 30+ local preschools and daycare centers; homework assistance for teens equipped with computers and media; laptops and iPads with college-level computer programming\, and STEAM (Science\, Technology\, Arts\, Math) workshops including robotics in the Makerspace classroom; book clubs for teens through seniors\, knitting classes\, crafting workshops for adults\, and cultural programs such as Japanese or Russian language and psyanky egg decorating! \nThe Athletic Club hosts 1\,100 members who pay affordable fees to attend in Yoga\, Water Aerobics\, Spinning\, Tai Chi\, and Zumba classes in the fitness studios\, enjoy our heated indoor swimming pool\, gymnasium with a walking track\, and train for baseball/softball using our indoor batting cages. 200 youth participate in year-round sports lessons and 230 adults enjoy year-round basketball and volleyball leagues. 150 children and adults learned to swim\, participated in aquatics exercise and scuba instruction classes. 550 seniors are active members of our Silver Sneakers/Silver and Fit exercise classes geared to older adults. \nThe Music Hall seats 1\,045 guests in an intimate atmosphere that has changed very little from the original venue. In 2019\, 50\,000 patrons traveled from Western Pennsylvania and across the country to see nationally known entertainers such as American Idol\, Dave Chappelle\, Pete Davidson\, Boz Scaggs\, Sturgill Simpson\, Jeff Goldblum\, and more. The Music Hall uniquely serves also as a “community house” to local nonprofits offering meeting space for civic engagement\, programs and services such as graduation commencement exercises\, naturalization ceremonies\, school band concerts\, church plays and local dance recitals. Year-round\, the music hall serves as an economic driver for nearby restaurants\, retail establishments and hotels – for every 50 shows held\, the Carnegie brings over $1\,000\,000 in revenue to the Waterfront and Eighth Avenue business districts. Space rentals and ticket sales provide revenue to support the facility and programs that serve our community. “The Carnegie of Homestead is a textbook example of social enterprise and sustainability reinvention\,” experts say\, “by using revenue from the music hall and its fitness club memberships to stay viable.” The library’s core mission has been preserved\, and then some: you can check out a book or use a computer\, take a Spinning class\, learn to swim or enjoy a concert. \nAndrew Carnegie’s vision is alive today as the Carnegie of Homestead continues its dedication to the community by providing vital resources to families throughout the Mon Valley.

Today\, we serve over 17\,000 residents of Munhall\, Homestead\, West Homestead\, Whitaker\, and families in nearby communities such as West Mifflin\, Lincoln Place\, Hays\, Greenfield\, Squirrel Hill\, Duquesne and more. The Carnegie of Homestead uplifts and improves the lives of youth\, families and the elderly\, by serving as a community activities center for families and groups throughout the Mon Valley. \nThe Library holds 3\,000\,000 county-wide items in collection including books\, audiobooks\, DVDs\, CDs\, newspapers\, magazines and eResources. There are nearly 7\,000 cardholders (35% of our residents) and on average 733 people visit daily. 30 computers provide over 30\,000 online access sessions annually by the general public\, including disadvantaged individuals who cannot afford home computers and online services. The library holds over 1\,000 learning programs annually in which almost 20\,000 participate of all ages. On any given day\, a variety of activities are happening: toddler and children story time\, arts and crafts; science and art classes for homeschooled children; literacy outreach & book distribution to 30+ local preschools and daycare centers; homework assistance for teens equipped with computers and media; laptops and iPads with college-level computer programming\, and STEAM (Science\, Technology\, Arts\, Math) workshops including robotics in the Makerspace classroom; book clubs for teens through seniors\, knitting classes\, crafting workshops for adults\, and cultural programs such as Japanese or Russian language and psyanky egg decorating! \nThe Athletic Club hosts 1\,100 members who pay affordable fees to attend in Yoga\, Water Aerobics\, Spinning\, Tai Chi\, and Zumba classes in the fitness studios\, enjoy our heated indoor swimming pool\, gymnasium with a walking track\, and train for baseball/softball using our indoor batting cages. 200 youth participate in year-round sports lessons and 230 adults enjoy year-round basketball and volleyball leagues. 150 children and adults learned to swim\, participated in aquatics exercise and scuba instruction classes. 550 seniors are active members of our Silver Sneakers/Silver and Fit exercise classes geared to older adults. \nThe Music Hall seats 1\,045 guests in an intimate atmosphere that has changed very little from the original venue. In 2019\, 50\,000 patrons traveled from Western Pennsylvania and across the country to see nationally known entertainers such as American Idol\, Dave Chappelle\, Pete Davidson\, Boz Scaggs\, Sturgill Simpson\, Jeff Goldblum\, and more. The Music Hall uniquely serves also as a “community house” to local nonprofits offering meeting space for civic engagement\, programs and services such as graduation commencement exercises\, naturalization ceremonies\, school band concerts\, church plays and local dance recitals. Year-round\, the music hall serves as an economic driver for nearby restaurants\, retail establishments and hotels – for every 50 shows held\, the Carnegie brings over $1\,000\,000 in revenue to the Waterfront and Eighth Avenue business districts. Space rentals and ticket sales provide revenue to support the facility and programs that serve our community. “The Carnegie of Homestead is a textbook example of social enterprise and sustainability reinvention\,” experts say\, “by using revenue from the music hall and its fitness club memberships to stay viable.” The library’s core mission has been preserved\, and then some: you can check out a book or use a computer\, take a Spinning class\, learn to swim or enjoy a concert. \nAndrew Carnegie’s vision is alive today as the Carnegie of Homestead continues its dedication to the community by providing vital resources to families throughout the Mon Valley.

SUMMARY:Munhall Borough 125th Anniversary Celebration at the Steel Valley School Campus | June 13th\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Munhall Borough 125th Anniversary Celebration at the Steel Valley School Campus | June 13th\, 2026\nMunhall is turning 125 — and we’re throwing a celebration you won’t want to miss! \nMark your calendars for June 13\, 2026 as we celebrate 125 years of Munhall Borough at Steel Valley High School. This all‑day community event will be packed with:\n Food Games Vendor Booths Live Entertainment Fun for Everyone\n Evening Highlight: Don’t miss the 125th Anniversary Drone Show lighting up the night sky!\n\nWe’re also accepting vendor and sponsor applications — a great way to get involved and support this milestone celebration.\nYou can stay in touch with updates here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61583124584239\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMunhall’s story spans nearly two centuries\, beginning the late 1700s with early settlers and the formation of a community. The area progresses due to the massive investment in the late 1800s by a handful of industrialists\, then has decades of both prosperity and decline. Homestead’s legacy provides us with important lessons about the fortunes of industrial development and organized labor in America. \nAmity Homestead was the name given by John McClure to a quaint county seat which he built in the bend of the Monongahela a mile or so below Braddock’s Crossing and ten miles from Pittsburgh in Mifflin Township. John passed the picturesque place on to his son John and through him to his grandson Abdiel. \nAt one time\, the area of Homestead was generally bounded by Ann Street to the west and McClure Street to the east\, the riverfront to the north and East 12th Avenue to the south.  This made up the estate of the McClure family. The huge McClure home stood approximately between East 9th Avenue and East 10th Avenue\, with a large lawn fronting Eighth Avenue. The easterly property boundary at McClure Street was the dividing line between Homestead Borough and what was then Mifflin Township\, and now Munhall Borough. \nIn the 1850s\, the McClure family\, hoping to raise personal funds\, organized a land title company with other early landowners and began to subdivide their sizeable property holdings. Today\, this recorded plan of lots bears the McClure family name. Around 1890\, a typical lot of 50 feet by 100 feet in this neighborhood would have cost approximately $2\,500 and one of these homes was estimated to have cost between $5\,000 and $20\,000 to build. The City of Pittsburgh was looking for property to erect its new Poor Farm in 1850 and bought 150 acres from Abdiel McClure. \nIn 1872\, Abdiel sold 113 acres to a banking and insurance company and a town was forthwith laid out and called Homestead. The first sale of lots was made to all the old-time accompaniments of a brass band and free junketing and the Pittsburgh\, Virginia and Charleston Railroad building across the empty lots the following year. The town took a good start and bade fair\, soon to grow as big as the older places in the region. But the panic of 1873 came and gave it a setback from which it took long to recover. In 1879 there were less than six hundred inhabitants. Munhall was incorporated as a borough in 1901. \nIn 1879\, Kloman decided to build a mill of their own. They bought a small tract of land adjoining the City Poor Farm at Homestead and commenced the erection of a building 684 feet long by 85 feet wide to contain a 21 inch mill\, two Universal mills\, a 16 inch bar train and a muck train. At the same time the Pittsburgh Bessemer Steel Company bought 40 to 50 acres of land adjoining the Kloman’s and commenced the erection of converting works and blooming mills. These two concerns were designed to work together\, Kloman taking the surplus product and the Pittsburgh Bessemer Steel Company working it into structural shapes. \nThe first steel for this plant was made on March 19\, 1881\, and the first rail on August 9\, 1881. Before the mill was quite completed\, however\, Kloman died. The Pittsburgh Bessemer Steel Company at once purchased Kloman’s unfinished mill. By September 1881\, they were turning out 200 tons of rails daily. The Carnegies looked on with surprise and alarm. Up to this time\, they had been the only makers of rail in the Pittsburgh district. Here was competition at their very door! \nIn June 1882\, the Amalgamated Association Workers went on strike against the Pittsburgh Bessemer Steel Company. At this time\, the price of steel was rapidly falling and\, alarmed by the imminent call for more capital\, some of the Homestead stockholders hastened to get out of the company. They went to the Carnegies and offered them control of the mill in October of 1883. The Homestead Mills became property of the Carnegie Group\, at this time\, the best-equipped plants of its size in the country. \nThe old Pittsburgh City Poor Farm had out-grown itself and the City of Pittsburgh sold approximately 148 acres to the Carnegie Land Company in 1891. A new facility was built for the City of Pittsburgh known as Marshalea was occupied in 1894. \nThe Carnegie Land Company\, a subsidiary of Carnegie Steel\, purchased properties in the area from the McClure\, Hayes and Munhall families to expand the Homestead Works and to sell lots for the construction of homes to its workers. \nThe Munhall Brothers laid out a plan of lots\, sold lots to mill employees\, and constructed houses for rental or purchase by employees in “Munhall Hollow” (present day Ravine Street). \nIn 1901\, the scene was set for the incorporation of Munhall Borough\, which was named for John Munhall. It embraces a section known popularly as “East Homestead”\, Munhall Station and the steel properties which were by that time in the control of United States Steel Corporation. \nThe City Farm Plan of lots stretched from the riverfront in a pie-shape\, up the hill from McClure Street to the West and to Martha Street to the East. It ended at a point at what is now the vicinity of 17th Avenue. A section of this large tract of land\, the area in the vicinity of the Carnegie Library\, was developed as the elite area of Homestead and Munhall from the 1890s to about 1920. \nWhile in New York City\, Andrew Carnegie met the designer of Central Park\, Fredrick Law Olmstead. He hired Olmstead to come to visit Homestead and lay out a plan of homes around his proposed new library. Carnegie believed in the future and made plans for many of his projects in this manner. Olmstead laid out broad streets with space for parking and still provided for two lane vehicular traffic. Olmstead believed in providing “green space” that was often forgotten about in fast growing city areas of that time. Utilities for the planned homes were through the rear of the properties. In this manner\, all homes were visually correct and pleasing to the eye. \nThe large grouping of huge company-built homes included the residence for the Superintendent of the Homestead Steel Works and for each manager of the major steel works departments. Open Hearths\, Rolling Mills\, Bessemer Department\, Blast Furnaces\, Production Planning\, etc. The home was made part of the Manager’s employment package. The mill supplied the electricity and natural gas services to these homes as well as the Library\, until the late 1940s. Visitors will note the area’s homes’ substantial construction\, the large lot sizes\, the tree-lined streets\, and the small Park Square Commons Area. There is a marked difference in this neighborhood compared to the nearby Homestead\, just a block away; where older\, frame homes and small closer set lots predominate. \nLiving in this neighborhood\, the home buyers in Park Square and the City Farm Plan were required by the Carnegie Land Company restrictions to construct only homes\, which cost at least $3\,000. The lots in the Library Estates sold from $3\,500 to $5\,000 each in 1900. Types of homes that were to be built were Venetian\, Brownstone\, Mansen or Queen Anne. They also agreed to company-stipulated building setbacks requiring at least a 25-foot setback from the street. Buyers agreed never to sell “vinous\, spirituous\, malt or any other kind of intoxicating liquors on the properties.” Finally\, the deed restrictions protected the homebuilders in this area. From what you may wonder? From complaints or suits about smoke\, heat\, noise\, blast\, concussion\, dust\, glare\, explosion or any impacts from the nearby Homestead Steel Works. The company was obviously determined to go about its business and protect its investment at all cost!

Open Hearths\, Rolling Mills\, Bessemer Department\, Blast Furnaces\, Production Planning\, etc. The home was made part of the Manager’s employment package. The mill supplied the electricity and natural gas services to these homes as well as the Library\, until the late 1940s. Visitors will note the area’s homes’ substantial construction\, the large lot sizes\, the tree-lined streets\, and the small Park Square Commons Area. There is a marked difference in this neighborhood compared to the nearby Homestead\, just a block away; where older\, frame homes and small closer set lots predominate. \nLiving in this neighborhood\, the home buyers in Park Square and the City Farm Plan were required by the Carnegie Land Company restrictions to construct only homes\, which cost at least $3\,000. The lots in the Library Estates sold from $3\,500 to $5\,000 each in 1900. Types of homes that were to be built were Venetian\, Brownstone\, Mansen or Queen Anne. They also agreed to company-stipulated building setbacks requiring at least a 25-foot setback from the street. Buyers agreed never to sell “vinous\, spirituous\, malt or any other kind of intoxicating liquors on the properties.” Finally\, the deed restrictions protected the homebuilders in this area. From what you may wonder? From complaints or suits about smoke\, heat\, noise\, blast\, concussion\, dust\, glare\, explosion or any impacts from the nearby Homestead Steel Works. The company was obviously determined to go about its business and protect its investment at all cost!

The second of three libraries built here in the Mon Valley\, the Carnegie Library of Homestead was built for use by the common man but adorned with grandeur and opulence fit for a royal family. The Carnegie Library of Homestead is the oldest Carnegie library in continuous operation in its original structure in the US\, and was chosen by CNN in 2014 as one of the 27 most fascinating libraries in the world to visit. Unique to other libraries\, it also is home to a full-service athletic facility and grand concert hall. \nAlso known as the Carnegie of Homestead\, its modern mission is to provide programs and facilities that enhance learning\, wellness and quality of life within and outside the Steel Valley. Today\, we serve over 17\,000 residents of Munhall\, Homestead\, West Homestead\, Whitaker\, and families in nearby communities such as West Mifflin\, Lincoln Place\, Hays\, Greenfield\, Squirrel Hill\, Duquesne and more. The Carnegie of Homestead uplifts and improves the lives of youth\, families and the elderly\, by serving as a community activities center for families and groups throughout the Mon Valley. \nThe Library holds 3\,000\,000 county-wide items in collection including books\, audiobooks\, DVDs\, CDs\, newspapers\, magazines and eResources. There are nearly 7\,000 cardholders (35% of our residents) and on average 733 people visit daily. 30 computers provide over 30\,000 online access sessions annually by the general public\, including disadvantaged individuals who cannot afford home computers and online services. The library holds over 1\,000 learning programs annually in which almost 20\,000 participate of all ages. On any given day\, a variety of activities are happening: toddler and children story time\, arts and crafts; science and art classes for homeschooled children; literacy outreach & book distribution to 30+ local preschools and daycare centers; homework assistance for teens equipped with computers and media; laptops and iPads with college-level computer programming\, and STEAM (Science\, Technology\, Arts\, Math) workshops including robotics in the Makerspace classroom; book clubs for teens through seniors\, knitting classes\, crafting workshops for adults\, and cultural programs such as Japanese or Russian language and psyanky egg decorating! \nThe Athletic Club hosts 1\,100 members who pay affordable fees to attend in Yoga\, Water Aerobics\, Spinning\, Tai Chi\, and Zumba classes in the fitness studios\, enjoy our heated indoor swimming pool\, gymnasium with a walking track\, and train for baseball/softball using our indoor batting cages. 200 youth participate in year-round sports lessons and 230 adults enjoy year-round basketball and volleyball leagues. 150 children and adults learned to swim\, participated in aquatics exercise and scuba instruction classes. 550 seniors are active members of our Silver Sneakers/Silver and Fit exercise classes geared to older adults. \nThe Music Hall seats 1\,045 guests in an intimate atmosphere that has changed very little from the original venue. In 2019\, 50\,000 patrons traveled from Western Pennsylvania and across the country to see nationally known entertainers such as American Idol\, Dave Chappelle\, Pete Davidson\, Boz Scaggs\, Sturgill Simpson\, Jeff Goldblum\, and more. The Music Hall uniquely serves also as a “community house” to local nonprofits offering meeting space for civic engagement\, programs and services such as graduation commencement exercises\, naturalization ceremonies\, school band concerts\, church plays and local dance recitals. Year-round\, the music hall serves as an economic driver for nearby restaurants\, retail establishments and hotels – for every 50 shows held\, the Carnegie brings over $1\,000\,000 in revenue to the Waterfront and Eighth Avenue business districts. Space rentals and ticket sales provide revenue to support the facility and programs that serve our community. “The Carnegie of Homestead is a textbook example of social enterprise and sustainability reinvention\,” experts say\, “by using revenue from the music hall and its fitness club memberships to stay viable.” The library’s core mission has been preserved\, and then some: you can check out a book or use a computer\, take a Spinning class\, learn to swim or enjoy a concert. \nAndrew Carnegie’s vision is alive today as the Carnegie of Homestead continues its dedication to the community by providing vital resources to families throughout the Mon Valley.
