Eric Peppe
Pianist, Accompanist, and Piano Technician
Son Alex and Daughter Morgan Eric Peppe has entertained Southern Maine with his piano talent for over twenty-five years, from playing musicals and private functions to accompanying instrumentalists and Musica de Filia.

His love for playing the piano brought with it a frustration that many of the instruments he practiced and performed on were not in tune. Twenty years ago he decided to solve that problem. He purchased a tuning hammer and apprenticed himself to several tuners in the area. Before long, he discovered that his frustration with out of tune pianos was shared by many pianists, and he decided to tune and repair pianos professionally.

His career includes several pianistic scholarships and awards, including the Berliowski Award and the Rossini Scholarship. Eric is a professional pianist, audio engineer, and piano technician living in Westbrook, Maine, with his family, two members of which are two of his proudest accomplishments.

Helen Peppe is a freelance writer and a nature photographer. Although primarily a photographer of horses, she happily photographs all animals and sometimes can be talked into photographing people. Her short stories, poems, articles, and photographs have appeared in numerous equine books, fiction anthologies, textbooks, and magazines, including the The Horse, Dressage Today, Equus, Equine Journal, Yankee Pedlar, American Trakehner, Horse Journal Quarterly, Lynx Eye, and Cats Magazine. Author of the Maine Stable Guide, History of the State Theater, and former editor of the Eastern Equerry and Wordplay Magazine, Helen's writing and photographs have won awards and recognition throughout the United States and Canada. Helen lives in Westbrook, Maine, with her family and two dogs.
