The Nightingale in Rochester: Jenny Lind Visits the Flour City

In the summer of 1851, the arrival of Swedish singing sensation Jenny Lind created a wave of excitement around the City of Rochester. How did she get here and where did she perform (and what did she sing)? This lively lecture will explain all, and show the direct connection between her concerts and the founding of the Eastman School of Music. 

About the presenter:  Gerry Szymanski is a Reserves and Digital Services Librarian at the Eastman School of Music's Sibley Music Library.
