Program Description
Event Details
The relationship between poetry and music seems as old as time itself--from the earliest poems accompanied by music on the lyre to contemporary spoken-word poetry. The Scarsdale Library, the Hoff-Barthelson Music School, and the Scarsdale Library’s poetry community invite you to enjoy an afternoon of poetry and jazz!
Join us for a captivating exploration of the timeless bond between these two ancient art forms. This one of a kind event will showcase the Hoff-Barthelson Music School Adult Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of Ed Palermo, alongside members of the Scarsdale Public Library’s poetry community. Whether you are a music enthusiast, a poetry lover or simply curious about the magic that happens when these two art forms combine, this festival promises to be a unique and unforgettable experience.
As part of the celebration, there will be a brief open mic; local poets are invited to participate. Refreshments will be served.
