FULL - Senior Happening: Fred Miller Presents "Lecture-in-Song: Frank Sinatra"

REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS FULL. 

The Livingston Public Library invites the public to our In-Person Senior Happening on Friday, November 17th at 1pm featuring “Lecture-In-Song Frank Sinatra” performed by Fred Miller. 

Sinatra’s colorful, often abrasive personality and the constant tabloid attention he attracted often obscured his seriousness as a musical artist. From the beginning he was intent on creating a new sound-adult, sensual, exhilarating, authentic, always himself. Despite recording thousands of different songs, Sinatra’s recordings rarely achieved “hit” status. Time has shown he was in the more serious, long-range business of producing classics, recorded renditions of songs that indelibly bear his stamp. Fred Miller’s Lecture on Frank Sinatra is a musical tribute to a unique American entertainer, punctuated by anecdotes and biographical details drawn from an eventful, legendary life.

Fred Miller is the founder of the Copper Penny Players, a singing class for amateurs that has been operating for the past quarter century. He has experience in many different musical fields, including opera, comedy and piano music. There are now more than seventy Lecture-in-Song programs that he performs around New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

The Senior Happening is a monthly series that allows attendees (“Seniors” or otherwise) to socialize during the first part of the program (12 until 12:45 pm) by bringing a bag lunch, while enjoying desserts and coffee served by the Friends of the Library volunteers. The program and entertainment then begins at 1 pm.

Registration is required and may be done in person at the library; by telephone at (973) 992-4600; or online at www.livingstonlibrary.org. Registration begins on October 30th for Livingston residents and other Essex County residents may register starting on November 13th.

Unable to make the show? A pre-recorded video of the performance will be available on the library website, www.livingstonlibrary.org, for you to enjoy at your leisure. 

Senior Happening is made possible in part by funds from the Essex County Division of Cultural Affairs, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and through the support from the Friends of the Livingston Library.
