MARILYN NELSON — three time National Book Award finalist and one of the foremost writers of poetry for young people today  — and LERA AUERBACH — an award-winning poet, composer, and conductor— have come together to create this extraordinary portrait of the orchestra in all of its richness and fascination! Beautifully illustrated and written, this gorgeous alphabet book is a poetic ode to the power and universality of music — and to the wonderful diversity of all of those who play and enjoy music as well.

This event will feature LERA AUERBACH and MARILYN NELSON, the authors of A is for Oboe, as well as PAUL HOPPE, the illustrator!
