About this event
Join White Plains Librarian Barbara Wenglin to explore compelling readings from the rich anthology, Music Stories (ed. Wesley Stace, Everyman's Pocket Classics, 2024). These vibrant and varied works by diverse authors capture the universal - sometimes controversial -- world of music, paying tribute to one art form through another. We will also discuss related film selections at some sessions, to view before we meet. The reading for this session is: " A Mother " by James Joyce (1914; p.203) from Dubliners. Mr. Holohan arranges with Mrs. Kearney for her pianist daughter Kathleen to accompany singers at a concert series. With poor attendance, payment becomes an issue with Mrs. K demanding their rights. Copies of the series anthology are available to reserve through the catalog with one held at the Reference Desk for reading in the Library. We will meet Thursdays from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m on 5/14, 6/4, 6/25. Meeting ID for all sessions is: 837 1709 4842 or phone in at 1-929-436-2866, no password needed.
