 Celebration of the New California Chapter Please save
your Friday evening, March 1, for a special reception and exhibition at the
King Library, just three blocks from the Fairmont Hotel. The local arrangements
committee is hosting an after-hours reception at the library to celebrate the
merger of the two California chapters of MLA. This is a good opportunity to see
the massive library, a unique partnership between San José State University and
the City of San José. While enjoying fabulous food, view “Beethoven’s Vienna,” an
exhibition in the special collections wing that will feature technologies of Beethoven’s
time such as a Mälzel metronome, ear trumpet, zograscope, and music engraving
tools. Visit the Beethoven Center during the reception to hear the fortepianos
and see Beethoven’s quill, original manuscripts, and other treasures (yes, even
Beethoven’s hair!). Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library, 5th Floor March 1, 2013 6:30pm-8:30pm  California Poppy Eschscholzia californica |
