More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend. |

Composer Bartok Subject of Williams Lecture - March 12, 2008
WILLIAMSTOWN - The Williams College department of music will present a Class of 1960 Lecture by Carl Leafstedt '86 on "Creativity and Disease Entwined: The Mysterious Case of Bela Bartok's Final Illness, 1942-1945" on Tuesday, April 1.
It will be held at 4:15 p.m. in Bernhard Music Center, Room 30 on campus. This free event is open to the public.
Leafstedt, appointed to the Trinity University music department faculty in 2001, is a music historian specializing in 19th-and 20th-century American and European music.
A graduate of Williams College, where he majored in both chemistry and music, he received his doctorate in music from Harvard University in 1994. He has taught on the faculties of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and Southwestern University. He writes frequently on the music of Bartok and, in 1999 published a book on Bartok's opera "Duke Bluebeard's Castle" with Oxford University Press.
The Class of 1960 Scholars Fund, established at the 25th reunion, brings eminent researchers from other colleges and universities to campus to give colloquia. |
