GNY-MLA News and Newsletter
October 2006
Greetings GNYMLA members!
The fall foliage is upon us and I hope you are all enjoying the brilliant colors and cooler temperatures of the autumnal season. Our fall meeting promises to be a treat! It will be held at the newly renovated Morgan Library and Museum on Saturday, December 9, 2006 at 10:30 AM. J. Rigbie Turner, Mary Flagler Cary Curator of Music Manuscripts and Books, will host our visit. He will also give a brief talk on his latest exhibit, which celebrates the two-hundred-fiftieth anniversary of the birth of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) through manuscripts, letters, and first editions of his works. After a brief business meeting, we will be permitted access to this and other exhibits at the Morgan, including Bob Dylan's American Journey, 1956-1966, the first comprehensive exhibition devoted to Bob Dylan's early career. You may dine at the Morgan Café at your leisure. Additional information on these exhibits can be found on the Morgan web site. RSVPs are required for this meeting--please let us know soon that you'll be joining us!
Sincerely, Gisele Schierhorst
GNYMLA Chapter Chair
