A collaboration with Tempesta di Mare’s Great Books concert
Description
In association with Tempesta di Mare, this program will focus on Miguel de Cervantes’ novel, Don Quixote, one of the four great works of literature in their Great Books Concert. Don Quixote was Dr. A.S.W. Rosenbach’s favorite book and The Rosenbach is pleased to have in its collection a rare first edition of the novel, as well as documents in Cervantes’ hand. A presentation on Quixote, as well as dramatic readings from the book that inspired Georg Philipp Telemann’s Burlesque de Quixotte will make this a special evening for lovers of literature and music.
