Caldwell Library has two widely different music events – one in mid-December and the other later in the New Year.
The first will be a holiday concert called Three Centuries of Music and a Half a Dozen Instruments. Annette Mulholland Lewis, Wilbur Lewis, and guest Ben Larkey will perform an assortment of music including works by Gilbert & Sullivan, Foster, Scarlatti, and Bach. Along with vocals, music will be played on a variety of instruments such as the banjo, baroque guitar, harpsichord, and mandolin. A segment of the performance will be renditions of seasonal favorites.
Titled ‘Holiday Concert: Three Centuries of Music and Half a Dozen Instruments’, it will be performed Wednesday, December 19 from 6:30 until 7:30 pm at the Caldwell Free Public Library, 268 Bloomfield Avenue. The concert will be free with refreshments afterwards, but reservations are required.
Moving into 2019, the library will be holding another free music-related event on January 26 from 2:00 to 3:00 pm. This time it will be a talk given by of A to G School of Music’s Dan Lupo. His topic will be ‘Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: the Man Behind the Music’. Lupo will be discussing the classical music genius’ life in mid-to-late 1700s Vienna and his untimely and somewhat mysterious death.
Libraries that hold events such as these usually take pictures to include in the following year’s brochure printing.
