The Library at Night

Drawing inspiration from Alberta Manguel's The Library at Night(a series of essays on the idea of the library), Colin McAllister's captivating recital takes the listener on a literary, musical and historical journey through time and place. Colin interweaves music alongside poetry, historical vignettes and visual imagery in an engaging concert-length presentation. The compelling selection of music includes masters of medieval, Renaissance and Baroque polyphony, the first "Golden Age" of the guitar, sensual rhythms from Latin America and Spines, a new piece by award-winning composer Christopher Adler. Join us for an unforgettable evening in The Library at Night and experience a feast for the ears, eyes and mind.
