Does a waltz played on an organ evoke memories of a roller rink? I guess you have to be a certain age to know what I'm talking about. When I was in 6th grade (many years ago), the teacher took the entire class to the roller rink one Saturday. What carefree fun!
Music is an essential part of memory for many people and the associations that have developed affect what you see or taste or feel or smell when you hear new music. In The Soloist by Mark Salzman, Renne (the teacher) gives Kyung Hee (the pupil) many pictures to look at while they listen to music. Kyung Hee makes the connection with enthusiastic excitement and Renne knows that Kyung Hee experiences music with all his senses.
You are invited to hear some special music- Haydn, Klughardt, Arnold, Joplin & Debussy- and look at some artwork that may or may not "match" what you hear. On Tuesday March 6th at 7:30 pm in the McManus Room at the Library, the Norwalk Symphony Woodwind Quintet will provide the music. Come and see what you hear! Fun for the whole family!!
