The Life and Music of Aaron Copland Aaron Copland was an American composer, composition teacher, writer, and later in his career a conductor of his own and other American music. The open, slowly changing harmonies of many of his works are archetypical of what many people consider to be the sound of American music, evoking the vast American landscape and pioneer spirit. Instrumental in forging a distinctly American style of composition, in his later years Copland was often referred to as "the Dean of American Composers." Thank you to the Friends of the Carlisle Council on Aging and Friends of Gleason Public Library for supporting the 21st annual Cultural Lecture Series. Free!

Wednesday, October 9| 1:00pm

This session is a follow-up to our previous lecture, where we’ll dive deeper into the upcoming changes. Apple is ending support for all pre-2018 Macs in the fall of 2024, and Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 in the fall of 2025. This leaves hundreds of millions of personal computers vulnerable to hackers and miscreants—including, perhaps, yours! In this talk, Bob Supnik will explore the timeline for these events and discuss options for securing your personal computers.

Hollis Room at the Gleason Public Library
Please join the Carlisle Council on Aging and Human Services and the Gleason Public Library this fall for the 21st Annual Cultural Lecture Series, held in person in the Hollis Room at the Gleason Public Library.
The Life and Music of Aaron Copland
Aaron Copland was an American composer, composition teacher, writer, and later in his career a conductor of his own and other American music. The open, slowly changing harmonies of many of his works are archetypical of what many people consider to be the sound of American music, evoking the vast American landscape and pioneer spirit. Instrumental in forging a distinctly American style of composition, in his later years Copland was often referred to as "the Dean of American Composers."
Thank you to the Friends of the Carlisle Council on Aging and Friends of Gleason Public Library for supporting the 21st annual Cultural Lecture Series.
Free! Registration is required at gleasonlibrary.org/events to reserve your spot.
