What's it like to be a violinist in the Portland Symphony Orchestra? Prince Memorial Library's lecture series continues on Thursday, Jan. 26 at 6:30 p.m. with a presentation called "Inside the Music." Yasmin Vitalius, PSO violinist, will share her experiences as an orchestra violinist and will introduce her audience to the music of Beethoven and Rachmaninoff. Her presentation will include visual and auditory examples, and audience questions and interaction are encouraged.
Vitalius teaches violin at Bowdoin College and is co-director of the New England Suzuki Institute.
