Windsor Public Library

Come see what was it like to grow up in the Southern California music explosion of the late 60's and early 70's. The Library is welcoming Jim Lenn back to take you on an inside look at four young men now known as the Beach Boys and their five-year journey to “make it” in that Southern California music scene. Jim will share the experience with stories, but will also use photos and live music to transport you back to an extraordinary time in music history. – Come get a feel of what it was like to be there for the “Rise &amp; Fall of Dovie Modean."
Registration suggested.

Works by Schubert, Gryc, and Brahms
Originally written as a single movement for another piece, “Notturno” is a work of nuanced beauty. This gem of a composition by the sublime lyricist Franz Schubert opens our 2026-27 season. “Dances and Nocturnes” was commissioned by New World in 1989 from Hartt composer Steven Gryc. Each of the seven fanciful movements can be considered “night music”, the dances being “dreams of dances”. The addition of a viola adds richness and depth to the overall texture, creating a “contemporary classic” piano quartet. Brahms’ op.8 trio was first written as a youthful composer of 21 and revised thirty-five years later, shortly before his death. This imposing, expansive work remains a cornerstone of the chamber music repertoire. Its classical structure combined with romantic expressionism certainly fits the weltgeist of Beethoven. “ Autumn Reflections” is being given in memory of William E Fuller.
