Lynnfield Public Library

Bill Sano returns in November for four lectures and selected music of some of the great Russian composers — Borodin, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky and several others. Mr. Sano sets the music of these composers against Russian life in the latter part of the 19th century, helping us to understand what makes Russian music so, well, Russian.

Meetings are free and open to the public and will be held at the Meeting House on the Common Tuesdays in November from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.

The theme of the first lecture, taking place Tuesday, November 3, is “Everybody’s Favorite Russian Composer: Tchaikovsky”.

Please visit our display here at the Library, where you’ll find books and music CDs to borrow, as well as complimentary biographical sketches of the composers and relevant websites. You can also see the displayed materials online from home by clicking on the following links:
