League Alumni Network Book Club

Led by Katie Salvatore, Essentials Class of ‘23

Join us as we dive into books about musical topics and share ideas within this community in a low-stress way!

Book Club meetings will be held September 5, 2024; November 4, 2024; February 3, 2025; and May 5, 2025 from 1:00-2:00pm Eastern via Zoom.

The first book we have chosen is Haruki Murakami’s Absolutely on Music: Conversations with Seiji Ozawa. This book also lends itself to being broken into independent portions, so you can attend any (or all) of the meetings. If you miss one, just join us at the next one for a new, lively discussion.
