  • March is for Music at the East Hartford Public Library

Families are invited to join us for two musical events to be held in the month of March at the East Hartford Public Library.

On Saturday, March 9 at 3:00 PM, we’ll offer an opportunity to “Meet the Cello.” Are you curious about the cello? Drop in to learn more about this beautiful instrument with East Hartford resident and Hartford Symphony principal cellist Jeffrey Krieger. All ages are welcome, and no registration is required. “Meet the Cello” is presented with funding support from the Music Performance Trust Fund.

On Saturday, March 23 at 3:00 PM, music aficionados of all ages will enjoy an exciting performance of Sergei Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf. Each character in the story is given its own music, and played to perfection by members of the Kelet Ensemble, who have rearranged the composition to fit their instruments. Everyone will enjoy this tale of cunning, bravery, and skill! This program is sponsored by the East Hartford Commission on Culture and Fine Arts. Register for a reminder, or just drop in.

For more information or to register, visit our website calendar of events or call the children’s room at 860-290-4332. The East Hartford Public Library is located at 840 Main St., East Hartford.
