Music travels through time across the centuries, out-living its creators! What a wonder!
Have you considered the simple elements that make up the instruments ? How does that sound come out of that wood and metal? What a confluence of craftsmanship, intent, creativity and skill!
If you share my enthusiasm, come to hear author John Marchese talk about his new book The Violin Maker:Finding a Centuries-Old Tradition in Brooklyn Workshop on Wednesday March 28 at 7:30 pm in the McManus Room at the Library. Joining Marchese will be Sam Zygmuntowicz, the violin maker featured in the book. Books will be available for purchase and signing by the author.
This is the concluding event of WestportREADS 2007 with its focus on The Soloist by Mark Salzman.
