Family-Friendly Classical Music at the Dover Public Library

On Saturday morning, May 4 at 11am, the Dover Public Library will host the third in a series of free classical music concerts for families, featuring live performances of well-known musical masterpieces. This month’s concert will highlight the works of several French composers:  Claude Debussy, Georges Bizet, Léo Delibes, Gabriel Fauré and Charles Gonoud. It will include performances of opera arias from Delibes’s "Lakme" and Gounod’s "Faust", plus famous pieces from Debussy's "Clair de Lune" and Fauré's "Sicilienne”. The concert’s length is just 40-45 minutes, so that children may attend and enjoy the music too. The performers’ goal is to encourage classical music appreciation among all ages.

 Performing will be: Flutist Richard DuBois, Sopranos Melissa Manseau and  Kate Kneisley, and Naho Bessho on piano.

A Garden for Wildlife: Natural Landscaping for a Better Backyard with Jean Eno on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 7pm

Jean’s presentation will explore ideas for landscaping your yard as a habitat for wildlife and birds, explaining what wildlife are looking for when feeding or looking for a home. Or maybe you have problems with wildlife around your home and want to know what to do.  All of these questions can be answered as you learn to alter your landscaping and gardening practices. Plant choices, gardening techniques, wildlife and habitats, use of native plants, and issues such as invasive plants will also be discussed. You’ll learn techniques for attracting songbirds, mammals, hawks and owls, and even mysterious amphibians such as red-backed salamanders to your backyard.  The slide presentation will include helpful handouts and lists of suggested plantings.  To see other Friends of the Library programs visit their web site at http://www.dover.lib.nh.us/Friends.htm.
