Library
Director Sandy Putnam will present a two-part lecture series on the Romantic
Period in classical music. The programs will
be held on Sunday, March 8, 2015 and Sunday, March 15, 2015. Both lectures begin at 2:00 pm. The first program will examine the
socioeconomic forces driving mid-19th century music and an
increasingly melodic and passionate genre.
The music and lives of Frederic Chopin and Robert Schumann will be
explored and there will be live piano performances by two virtuoso young piano
students from the local community. The
second program will focus on the great Russian composer Sergei
Rachmaninoff. His lush melodies and gorgeous
orchestrations capped the Romantic Period and comprise some of the most
beautiful music ever written.
The programs will take place in the
downstairs meeting rooms of the library.
Admission is free. Registration
is recommended but not required. Please
register by calling the library at 908-234-2325 or by email ref@dillonlibrary.org or in person at the circulation desk.
