Thursday, October 11
In the RPO’s continuing effort to expand the concert experience, the Orchestra is teaming up with BOA Editions, the Rochester-based, Pulitzer Prize-winning publishing house. Sean Thomas Dougherty – a BOA poet inspired by the work of Walt Whitman – will share the Thursday evening pre-concert chat with Christopher Seaman, after having held a master class earlier that day for local college poetry students and their professors.
Immediately after Thursday’s concert, Mr. Dougherty will be presenting a free, public reading of his works at Java’s (16 Gibbs Street), with an open mike to follow.
