NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Visit The North Adams Public Library (NAPL) to join professional trumpet player, composer, educator, and North Adams native Richard Boulger for a conversation about the transformative power of music.

 

The talk will take place March 18, at 5:30 pm.

 

Boulger will discuss what a lifetime of creative practice teaches us about finding our own voice, stated a press release. 

 

Joining him will be guitarist Rodney Jones, a long-time faculty member at The Juilliard School and Manhattan School of Music, & former musical director for Miss Lena Horne.

 

According to a press release:

 

Together they'll explore what it means to view your instrument as "an amplifier for what you are hearing, thinking, and feeling" — an approach that empowers musicians to create original music from their own life experiences. Whether you're a lifelong musician, thinking about starting later in life, or simply curious about the creative process, this presentation offers insights into finding your authentic voice through music.

 

The talk will take place in the 3rd floor community room. All are welcome. 

 

The North Adams Public Library is located at 74 Church Street, North Adams, MA, 01247.
