Music in the Library

Last year, with the help of the Columbus State University Schwob School of Music, The Columbus Public Library began what became a popular series called "Sonatas and Tea."

The series will be at 3 p.m. May 9, May 16, May 23 and May 30 in the library at 3000 Macon Road.

You may bring your favorite teacup. The library will provide tea and other light refreshments.

Kristen Hansen, associate professor of horn at the Schwob School, will perform works by Telemann, Beethoven, Rheinberger, Hindemith and Pilss.

"Kristen Hansen is a wonderful teacher and musician," said Alice Budge, president of the Muscogee County Friends of Libraries."Her sessions are interactive, informative and lively. Come see and hear for yourself."

Each concert features a sonata from a noted musical period:

May 9: "In The Baroque," features Telemann's "Sonata a tre" for horn, recorder and continuo

May 16: "In The Classical," features Beethoven's "Sonata in F for Horn and Piano."

May 23: "In The Romantic," features Rheinberger's "Sonata in E-flat."

May 30: "In The Modern," features Hindemith's "Sonata in F" and Pilss' "Sonata-allegro."

The concerts are free.
