"The King's Baroque" Musical Performance by Sauerwald and Finke Inaugurates Fall Season's Resumption of Saturday Hours at the South End Library, September 8, at 1:00 p.m.

...which is the positive way of describing the BPL's dismal policy to close branch libraries on Saturdays during the summer, when our children are out of school, and need library services the most. It is bad enough branch libraries are closed on Sundays and most weekday nights, when those of us who work during the day and pay taxes to support libraries, can get to them...Enuf said.. Back to..

The King's Baroque, a concert that will be performed at the South End branch on Saturday, September 8, at 1:00 p.m., by Janet Finke on the recorder and Dylan Sauerwald at the hapsichord. Finke is a member of Ensemble 44 which explores the works of Baroque women composers. Their first CD, Six by Three: 6 Sonatas by 3 Women Composers, was released last year and contains works of Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de la Guerre, Anna Amalia von Preusen, and Isabella Leonarda. Dylan Sauerwald was hapsichordist for Opera McGill for several years, and is currently a graduate music student at Boston University.

The event is free. All are welcome.
