Library, Orchestra to Partner for Family Concert

Tompkins County Public Library, in partnership with the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra, will present “My Family Plays Music,” a free, family-friendly concert, March 12 at 4:30 p.m. in the Library’s Ezra Cornell Reading Room.

This fun-filled, musical storytime will bring to life acclaimed picture book “My Family Plays Music” by Judy Cox.  Winner of the Coretta Scott King and John Steptoe awards, “My Family Plays Music” introduces readers—through its young narrator—to an African American family and the instruments each family member plays.

Being presented in honor of Cayuga Chamber Orchestra’s Executive Director Sheila Ossit, in recognition of her 10^th anniversary with CCO, this performance will include an opportunity for young participants to try out an assortment of instruments.
