Library to Partner with Cayuga Chamber Orchestra for Family Concert

Tompkins County Public Library, in partnership with the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra, will present “The Remarkable Farkle McBride,” a free, family-friendly concert, Thursday, November 17 at 4:00 p.m. in the Library’s Ezra Cornell Reading Room.

This fun-filled, musical storytime will bring to life the acclaimed picture book, “The Remarkable Farkle McBride” by John Lithgow.  “The Remarkable Farkle McBride” introduces readers to a memorable character, a fickle yet lovable child prodigy who brings the sounds and rhythms of an orchestra to sprawling visual life.

This storytime will include a quartet of CCO musicians and new CCO Music Director Cornelia Laemmli Orth as narrator.  The performance will include an opportunity for young participants to try out an assortment of instruments.

This program has been made possible in part by a generous gift from M&T Bank.
