Lifetime Learning Institute Presents

An Evening of Virginia Woolf and Wonderful Music!

Join us to celebrate Virginia Woolf and music! 
Readers have often noted the “musical” quality of Woolf’s writing. E.M. Forster went so far as to call To The Lighthouse a “novel in sonata form.” Her fiction has, in turn, inspired composers to write works inspired by her writing and her life. We invite you to join us as we explore, through performance, the rich connections between Woolf and music.
The evening will feature a performance of Dominick Argento’s Pulitzer Prize winning song cycle From the Diary of Virginia Woolf, as well as a reading of Woolf’s (very short) story “The String Quartet,” paired with a performance of the fourth movement of Schubert’s Trout Quintet, which inspired that story. 
No tickets or RSVP required; this event is free and open to the public. This event is supported by the Seniors to Seniors award from the Lifetime Learning Institute.
