Join Us for Sunday Afternoons at the Library

 

Isotope Stompers

Sunday March 14 at 2:00pm

Part of the Town of Oyster Bay Distinguished Artist Series. The Isotope Stompers are an exhilarating seven-piece Dixieland Jazz Band whose roots are in the Northeastern United States. This music, however, comes from way down South in New Orleans where this foot-stomping music called "jazz" grew out of spirituals and marches of the Bourbon Street area. You will recognize some of the band's popular Dixieland tunes like "Tiger Rag", "In the Mood", and "The Tin Roof Blues." All are welcome.

 

Aureus Duo

Sunday, March 28 at 2:00pm

Violinist, Lisa Casal-Galietta and Pianist, Danielle Errico started playing as a duo in 2002 and found that they had a very special and unique musical relationship. Some of their repertoire has included works by Mozart, Beethoven, Frank, Schubert, Schumann, Ewazen, Brahms, Elgar, and Sarasate. Enjoy an afternoon of beautiful music. All are welcome.
