SUMMARY:Author Allan Schiller with Ann Marie Sabath
DESCRIPTION:The Wannabe Classical Music Aficionado\n46 Insights to Make Your Next Concert a More Enjoyable Experience \nDrawing on more than thirty-five years on stage with the New York Philharmonic\, violinist Allan Schiller shares 46 practical\, insider insights that reveal what really happens in the concert hall—and how to listen with greater ease and pleasure. \nYou’ll learn how to read a concert program\, when to clap\, what conductors actually communicate without words\, why zoning out is part of real listening\, and how centuries of musical tradition quietly shape what you hear today. \nAlong the way\, Schiller blends lived experience\, backstage stories\, and plain-spoken wisdom that turns formality into invitation. \nWhether it’s your first concert or your fiftieth\, this book helps classical music feel less like a mystery—and more like your own seat in the hall. \nAllan Schiller\nAllan Schiller is a retired violinist of the New York Philharmonic\, where he performed from 1964 to 1999 under legendary conductors including Leonard Bernstein\, Zubin Mehta\, and Kurt Masur. \nHis musical life began after his family escaped Poland in 1939\, when his father gave him his first violin—an act of hope in the shadow of the Holocaust. \nRaised in Tel Aviv\, Paris\, and New York\, and later a Fulbright recipient in Brussels\, Schiller built a remarkable life in music spanning continents\, generations\, and some of the world’s greatest concert stages. \nToday\, he draws on those decades of experience to welcome readers into classical music with confidence\, curiosity\, and joy. \nAnn Marie Sabath\nCreator of The Wannabe Series and author of twelve books\, Ann Marie Sabath brings decades of experience translating complex subjects into accessible\, engaging narratives. \nAs the guiding voice behind The Wannabe Classical Music Aficionado\, Sabath helps distill the world of classical music for readers seeking insight\, context\, and practical tips for appreciating it.

SUMMARY:Fearless Women\, Powerful Stories: Author Deborah Heiligman
DESCRIPTION:Fearless Women\, Powerful Stories: A Three Part Virtual Series\nLoudmouth: Emma Goldman vs. America\nA Love Story \nBorn in Lithuania in 1869\, Emma Goldman grew up knowing what it meant to resist expectations. Her father wanted a dutiful son\, not a headstrong daughter. Emma had other plans. \nWhen she arrived in America as a young woman\, she was inspired by its promises of democracy and freedom\, but appalled by the hypocrisy she saw around her. Life\, liberty\, and the pursuit of happiness seemed to belong only to those at the top. \nSo Emma spoke up. Soon she was delivering fiery speeches about workers’ rights\, feminism\, inequality\, and capitalism\, challenging audiences to imagine a freer and more just society. \nLoudmouth is both the story of Emma’s complicated love affair with America and the story of the romances\, convictions\, contradictions\, and radical ideas that shaped her remarkable life. \nDeborah Heiligman\nDeborah Heiligman is the author of 31 books for children and teens. Her acclaimed nonfiction work has earned some of the highest honors in children’s and young adult literature. \nHer book Vincent and Theo: The Van Gogh Brothers received six starred reviews and won the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Nonfiction. \nHer other books include The Boy Who Loved Math: The Improbable Life of Paul Erdős and Snow Dog\, Go Dog. \nCharles and Emma: The Darwins’ Leap of Faith was a National Book Award finalist\, a Printz Honor book\, the winner of the YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction Award\, and a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. \nHer YA novel Intentions\, an exploration of betrayal\, love\, faith\, and the complicated transition from childhood to adulthood\, received the Sydney Taylor Award for Teen Readers. \nTake a look at the rest of the Fearless Women\, Powerful Stories Virtual Series: https://www.jccbuffalo.org/cover-to-cover/
