		The Great Neck Library and The Persian Culture Committee present A Musical Celebration of Yalda Everyone is invited to a musical celebration of Yalda at the Saddle Rock School Auditorium, located at 10 Hawthorne Lane (corner of Bayview Avenue). The program features the Saba, a Persian Music Ensemble. Saba is made up of both classical and folk singers and instrumentalists performing traditional Iranian instruments such as the santour, tar, setar, tonbak, daf, nay and oud. The group's repertoire consists of the well-known classics of Iranian pieces composed and arranged by members of the group. Opening for Saba will be Tonbakestan performing on Persian drums. The winter solstice is the beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Following the winter solstice, the days begin to grow longer and the nights shorter. In most ancient cultures, including Persia, the start of the solar year has been marked to celebrate the victory of light over darkness and the renewal of the Sun. Many Persian festivals celebrate Yalda. They are social occasions, when family and friends get together for fun and merriment. Traditional foods at this time are dried fruits, nuts, seeds, sweet breads and fresh winter fruits.

	1:30 PM - 2:30 PM	Parkville Book Discussion - The Flight of the Maidens
		Contact: Parkville Branch Library 516-466-8055 ex.273 parkville@greatnecklibrary.org
		The Flight of the Maidens by Jane Gardam led by Librarian Jonathan Aubrey Flight of the Maidens set in the summer of 1946, gives us an interesting portrait of down-trodden, war-shadowed Britain. It follows the different trajectories of three girls, each creating story a lovely tale about maturity and heartbreak. Hettie, smothered and tormented by her mother, escapes to study in the Lake District, while Una finds refuge and romance biking through the English countryside. Leiselotte, a German Jew separted from her parents during Kristalnacht, leaves England for the excess and wealth of America. While Hetty struggles with feelings toward her mother, Una experiences both a sensual and sexual awakening. Lieselotte, perhaps undergoing the greatest change, emerges after her American summer like a butterfly from a cocoon, coming to terms with her Jewish heritage. Gardam successfully weaves these stories together, creating three tales, each magnificent on its own. The novel charts this liminal summer in a succint, overlapping narrative style. Even the secondary characters are well-wrought, particularly Hetty's mother. While each girl seeks escape from her circumstances, each attains it in her own way. Gardham also fantastically reproduces the landscape of post-war England -- where the only hope for these characters is the prospect of educating themselves into a higher sphere..

	2:00 PM	Speakers in the Humanities Made in the U.S.A.: The Music of Aaron Copland
		Presented by Dr. Suzanne Forsberg Aaron Copland, our first composer to achieve international fame, produced compositions that sound distinctly American. This presentation features video clips and CDs that illustrate his life and representative compositions. Born and raised in Brooklyn by Russian-Jewish immigrant parents, Copland sailed at age twenty for study in France. Upon his return, he incorporated jazz into early works such as Music for the Theatre (1925). His next style, often referred to as "esoteric" or austere, is represented by The Piano Variations (1930). In the mid-1930s, he simplified his compositions to recapture his public. He incorporated Mexican folk songs into El Salon Mexico and cowboy songs into Billy the Kid (1938). Copland's most famous work, the ballet Appalachian Spring, employs variations on the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts. Music for The City (1939) captures the essence of his film style. This lecture is free and open to the public, sponsored by the New York Council for the Humanities, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

	1:30 PM	Book Talk Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout presented by Eleanor Hochman
		Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, deplores the changes in her little town and in the world at large, but she doesn’t always recognize the changes in those around her: a lounge musician haunted by a past romance: a former student who has lost the will to live: Olive’s own adult child, who feels tyrannized by her irrational sensitivities; and Henry, who finds his loyalty to his marriage both a blessing and a curse.

	1:00 PM	Appreciating Opera Introduction & Commentary by Gabe Chieco
		Placido Domingo in La Fanciulla del West by Giacomo Puccini Royal Opera Covent Garden Production La Fanciulla del West, Puccini's penultimate opera is based on a play by David Belasco set at the height of the notorious California gold rush. The composer took three years to complete the work, which, for him, marked a new stylish departure. With more modern harmonic combinations and local melodies, Puccini pieced together a far larger canvas than anything he had tackled before.

	7:00 PM	Lakeville Wednesday Night Book Group led by Librarian Judy Snow
		Suite Française by Irène Némirovsky Publisher Comments: By the early l940s, when Ukranian-born Irène Némirovsky began working on what would become Suite Française — the first two parts of a planned five-part novel — she was already a highly successful writer living in Paris. But she was also a Jew, and in 1942 she was arrested and deported to Auschwitz: a month later she was dead at the age of thirty-nine. Two years earlier, living in a small village in central France — where she, her husband, and their two small daughters had fled in a vain attempt to elude the Nazis — she'd begun her novel, a luminous portrayal of a human drama in which she herself would become a victim. When she was arrested, she had completed two parts of the epic, the handwritten manuscripts of which were hidden in a suitcase that her daughters would take with them into hiding and eventually into freedom. Sixty-four years later, at long last, we can read Némirovsky's literary masterpiece. First published in the USA by Knopf, 2006 To register call 466-8055, ext. 232
