The Nightingale in Rochester: Jenny Lind Visits the Flour City In-Person

In the summer of 1851, the arrival of Swedish singing sensation Jenny Lind created a wave of excitement around the City of Rochester. How did she get here, where did she perform, and what did she sing? This lively lecture, presented by Gerry Szymanski, librarian at the Eastman School of Music’s Sibley Music Library, will answer these questions and show the direct connection between her concerts and the founding of the Eastman School of Music.
