Celebrate Classical Music Month at the downtown library (610 Quincy Street, upstairs). Saturday, September 22 from 1:30 – 2:30 p.m., solo clarinet artist and chamber musician Nancy Williams will be joined by pianist Colleen McKirdy to explain and demonstrate Improvisatory Techniques in Music of the Classical Era. Don’t let the title scare you away. Nancy is engaging, funny, and extremely talented.

She writes original compositions under the label Carpe Clarinet and is currently completing her doctorate in clarinet performance at the University of Northern Colorado.
