Podcast: What’s Up Bainbridge:
March Events at the Bainbridge Library

In this podcast episode of What’s Up Bainbridge, library staffers John Fossett and Tressa Johnson invite listeners to visit the Bainbridge Library to hear four special guest speakers during the month of March.

Norm Hollingshead will give a series of lectures on great opera singers, playing musical excerpts from his collection of rare recordings. This is an opportunity to hear some pieces of music you wouldn’t have access to otherwise. Part of Library U, Bainbridge Public Library’s lifelong learning program, Great Singers is sponsored by KRL, with funding support from Bainbridge Island Friends of the Library.

Cesare Siepi – 2-4pm, Saturday March 7
