Seymour Public Library

The Seymour Public Library welcomes magician Chris Lengyel. Mr. Lengyel will give a talk&nbsp; on the life and career of Harry Houdini ending with a tribute performance of magic.
The year of 2026 is the 100th anniversary of the death of Harry Houdini. Despite the decades the name of Harry Houdini is still recognizable to the public as magician, an escape artist, an actor and an acknowledged expert on spiritualism fraud.
Beyond his skill on stage, acting in silent movies and escapes from locked boxes, underwater or being entombed--Houdini became known to modern audiences for his death on Halloween and the seances to contact his spirit by first his widow Bess and later by other magicians and magic societies.
Mr. Lengyel will talk about Houdini's life, career and his influence on magic and pop culture. He will perform magic tricks inspired by Houdini or that Houdini used to perform himself.
Call the Library at 203-888-3903 for more information on this program. Registration is not necessary for this program.

The Seymour Library welcomes the musician historian Jim Lenn. Mr. Lenn will be at the Library to tell the story of a Connecticut original -- Ovation Guitars.
The company was founded by Charles Kaman in 1967 in New Hartford, Connecticut and came directly from work being done by the Kaman Company in the late Sixties in the burgeoning aerospace industry. Kaman decided that his company's engineers could apply it's modern technology and materials to his other interest--guitar making. The engineers through testing and research found that a different shape and using a man made material made a superior sound and tone to the traditional wooden instrument 
Mr. Lenn's talk on Ovation guitars will touch the history, design and the famous musicians that used the Ovation guitars. He will be ending his talk performing the music from those musicians such as Glenn Campbell, Cat Stevens, Simon &amp; Garfunkel, John Denver and more.
Call the Library at 203-888-3903 for more information on this program. Registration is not necessary for this program.
