THE ARTS AT FREEPORT MEMORIAL LIBRARY

EL ARTE EN FREEPORT MEMORIAL LIBRARY

Primavera 2016 SPRING 2016 SEASON

Dear Freeport Patrons,

Prolific writer, Pablo Neruda said “You can cut all flowers but you

cannot keep spring from coming.” Whether the winter lingers or not, it

reminds us to welcome spring with renewed hope! Classical Music and Art

both reflect the beauty of culture and life. Freeport Memorial Library strives

to present these entities to enrich the community with quality performances

and inspiring art exhibits, lectures and documentary series.

Our Art Lectures will feature African American artist, Jacob Lawrence

(1917-2000), Spanish artist, Francisco Goya (1746-1828) and French artist,

Paul Gauguin (1848-1903). All of these gentlemen depicted culture during

their time in a unique and expressive way.

The FML Classical Music Season will resume in February 2016 with more

great concerts and talks. We continue to celebrate Spanish composer,

Enrique Granados (1867-1916) and the valuable contributions of Spanish

Classical Music. The Belle Sylvester Recital Series concludes with two

exceptional singers: soprano, Laura Strickling and mezzo soprano,

Clara Osowski. In April you will hear the Long Island Composers Alliance in

partnership with students from local schools. This event gives young music

students the opportunity to perform contemporary works by living

composers from Long Island. I am also proud to announce that in May we

will have opera artist, Regina Zona who will be accompanied by virtuosic

pianist, Kathleen Tagg. Our longtime music lecturer and pianist, Philip

Malamud will close the season with a concert featuring Enrique Granados’

works. I am excited to present all musicians to you because Freeport

deserves excellence!

I hope you enjoy the second half of the season.

With Warm Regards,

Tanisha Mitchell

Estimado Usuarios,

El prolífico escritor, Pablo Neruda una vez dijo: “Podrán cortar todas

las flores, pero no podrán detener la primavera.” Sea que el invierno se

quede merodeando, nos recuerda en dar la bienvenida a la primavera

con una esperanza renovada! La música clásica y el arte tanto reflejan la

belleza de la cultura y la vida. Freeport Memorial Library se esfuerza en

presentar estas entidades para enriquecer la comunidad con las

actuaciones de calidad y exposiciones inspiradoras de arte con clases y

series documentales.

Nuestras clases de arte contará con el artista afroamericano,

Jacob Lawrence (1917-2000), artista español, Francisco Goya (1746-1828) y

artista francés Paul Gauguin (1848-1903). Todos estos caballeros

representaron la cultura durante su tiempo de una manera única y

expresiva.

La temporada de música clásica de la FML se reanudará en

febrero 2016 con más conciertos y charlas. Continuamos celebrando el

compositor español, Enrique Granados (1867-1916) y los valiosos

colaboradores de la música clásica española. La Serie de Conciertos de

Belle Sylvester concluye con dos cantantes excepcionales: sopráno, Laura

Strickling y mezzo soprano, Clara Osowski. En abril se escuchará the Long

Island Composers Alliance en colaboración con estudiantes de las

escuelas locales. Este evento le ofrece a los estudiantes jóvenes de música

la oportunidad de realizar obras contemporáneas de compositores vivos

de Long Island. Estoy muy orgullosa de anunciar que en mayo tendremos

la artista de opera, Regina Zona quién estará acompañada por la pianista

virtuosa, Kathleen Tagg. Nuestra profesora de música de toda la vida y el

pianista, Philip Malamud cerrarán la temporada con un concierto de

obras de Enrique Granados. Estoy muy emocionada de presentar todos

estos músicos a ustedes porque Freeport merece excelencia!

Espero que disfruten de la segunda mitad de la temporada.

Con un cordial saludo,
