Live music and a history lesson = music to our ears.

A few weeks ago we hosted a lecture and book signing with Jonathan Rosenberg, author of Dangerous Melodies: Classical Music in America from the Great War Through the Cold War (Norton, 2019).

We kicked off the event with live music performed by professional musicians, led by Kristin Bowers, one of our favorite customers! Thank you Kristin and crew, it was an unforgettable night in this cozy little bookshop. There really is nothing quite as magical as listening to music and a reading in this very well insulated space. Books sound great! Come hear for yourself: If you missed this event and want to check out our next live music performance, check out oldtownbooks.com to stay up to date. We’re planning to host more concerts throughout the late winter and spring.
