oseph N. Rubin, a musicologist with American Musical Productions, will present “Programming the Past: An Alliance City Band Encore” on Wednesday, July 1 at 11 a.m. at Rodman Public Library.
The talk is a prelude to a July 4 concert inside Silver Park that will reenact one from exactly a century ago.
During his library talk, Rubin will take the audience on a musical multimedia journey through his efforts to uncover and recreate turn-of-the-century band concert programs. Featuring video clips from his “living history” concerts throughout the state, he will detail newly discovered facts about the Alliance City Band and its longtime director Emil Rinkendorf.
Registration is required to attend.
