Children, families, and classical music lovers are invited to a very special free performance at the library this month!

Visiting musicians, from institutions like New England Conservatory and New York Philharmonic, will play movements from a variety of pieces including works by Bach and Medelssohn. Musicians will also discuss the history of quartets, and answer questions! You do not want to miss this unique and incredible experience!

This free educational opportunity is presented by the Halcyon Music Festival, which runs June 13-22 at St. John’s Episcopal Church.
