Summary

Penelope Crawford is documented in the 2010 Baroque on Beaver preview as a harpsichordist and pianoforte player scheduled for the opening benefit with Martha Guth and Claudia Schmidt. The article reports a University of Michigan professorship and says she had previously visited Beaver Island.1

Evidence limits

This single held source is an advance newspaper feature that attributes its career description partly to the university. It supports the scheduled festival role and contemporary description, not a complete biography or confirmation that the advertised concert occurred.

Open questions

  • Can a University of Michigan biography and the final 2010 program confirm the appointment, repertoire, and performance?
