Acclaimed author and pianist ELENI TRAGANAS will speak about and sign her new novel, Twelfth House: The Journey of an Artist.

What is Art? What is Sham Art?

In a world fueled by crass commercial values, Lara Sarrafi, a concert pianist and the protagonist in Traganas' new novel, Twelfth House, returns to her ancestral home on a mission to spread culture, only to find an eccentric cast of characters antagonistic to her artistic endeavors. Coming face to face with these questions in a brutal clash of ideals, Lara’s life is forever altered in the ensuing contrapuntal web of violent and dramatic events that send her packing.

ELENI TRAGANAS, who was born in New York City, has performed as a soloist and recording artist at numerous venues worldwide. She holds degrees from the Juilliard School and has studied in conservatories in Germany and Switzerland. Her works have appeared in numerous literary journals, and her varied activities as performer, composer and visual artist have earned her listings in "Who's Who in America" and accolades from the international press.
