Music of WWI Lecture by Jane Davis Sine at Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center June 24

Musician and music history teacher Jane Davis Sine will present a lecture and discussion on the music of the World War I period on Sunday, June 24 at 3:00 p.m. The lecture will take place in the Garden House at Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center. Admission is free.

A century after the end of WWI, the music of composers in this surprisingly fertile period lives on. Americans Victor Herbert, George M. Cohan, a young George Gershwin and NYC visitor Sergei Rachmaninoff wrote popular songs, jazz concerti and operettas still enjoyed today. The presentation will include listening to and discussion of some of these composers' popular and lesser-known works from this period.

Jane Davis Sine is a trained musician in piano, double bass, and cello. She has been a string teacher for over 20 years and founded an artist management company representing classical musicians and conductors internationally. She currently teaches music appreciation course at the University of South Carolina, at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UConn in Waterbury, CT. She has previously taught at Marymount Manhattan.

This lecture is part of "Ridgefield Remembers WWI," a town-wide celebration of the 100th anniversary of the ending of World War I in 1918.
