10:00 - 11:00 am || Illustrated Lecture

The Music of
David Nowakowsky
Sounds like a movie plot: Respected composer dies in poverty, heroine smuggles music out of certain destruction in Russia into the holocaust, a family's terrified flight from the Nazis, burial of the scores for safe-keeping, recovery following WWII, music's renaissance in the US. Join Ron Graner for this fascinating illustrated talk on the life and music of the almost-forgotten Russian composer David Nowakowsky.
A fantastic way to start your week!
