Music at the Library: Adryn Sumner

Join us for Adryn Sumner's Lit Classical, a concert showing us different perspectives on well-known classical composers. Pianist ADRYN performs and introduces you to the human side of some of the greatest composers and musicians of all time. These OG rock stars often partied 'til dawn, starved for their art and made plenty of bad decisions - just like today. You'll see just how much you relate to these geniuses and understand the messages they are sharing through their timeless music.

Tickets for this concert are $25 for members and $35 for nonmembers.

Adryn travels the country engaging audiences and revitalizing interest in classical music with her popular new concert series Lit Classical. Her interactive components significantly enrich the listening experience by bringing the vibrant art of classical music to life. She shares the human experience behind classical music by providing insight into the background of the composers - who they were as individuals, what motivated and inspired them, what were their challenges and passions and even their naughty foibles. All of these human components are expressed through their music in the greatest compositions of all time but few know to listen for them. She points to the stylistic periods, what to listen for and the composers message in each piece before she performs it for the audience, providing a deeper understanding of context and enjoyment of the music for the classical music aficionado as well as for those classical-curious newbies with this fun new approach to classical music that she calls Lit Classical.
