FOR CHILDREN
In The Museum Cove:
Striking
A Chord
@ Your Library
The Northport Library Museum Cove is pleased
to present its newest exhibit and program series,
Striking a Chord @ Your Library, featuring
The Long Island Philharmonic. The exhibit opens in
September and will run through December. Among
the materials that children will enjoy are musical
instruments, photographs, posters, concert programs,
sheet music, recordings, and books.
The Long Island Philharmonic was founded in
1979 by folk singer Harry Chapin in collaboration
with Maestro Christopher Keene and several area
business leaders. Now entering its 23rd season, the
Philharmonic recently appointed David Wiley as its
fourth music director. Mr. Wiley is admired as one of
the most dynamic young music directors in America
and one of his immediate goals is to deepen the
orchestra’s roots in the community.
The Philharmonic performs a standard classical
European repertoire, premieres performance works,
commissions new compositions, and champions works
of twentieth century American composers. Its versatility is highlighted by performances with artists such as
Marvin Hamlisch, James Taylor, and Al Jarreau.
The Long Island Philharmonic is one of the most
active and widely-supported regional orchestras in the
nation. It provides cultural and educational benefits of
the highest level to Long Islanders.
Watch for these upcoming programs:
