The Stories with Music concert series returns this summer, bringing free educational shows to local libraries. Presented by The Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes (OSFL), Stories with Music concerts will take place at several county libraries, including Chemung, Steuben, Schuyler and Tioga throughout July and August.
Now in its seventh year, Stories with Music continues to partner with area libraries to promote literacy among children and students through the powerful connection of music and literature.
Stories with Music concerts showcase the talents of three groups of professional OSFL musicians through a presentation of a featured storybook set to music, as well as other musical selections.
This year’s lineup of featured storybooks include Animal Ditties, narrated and performed by the Brass Quintet, Little Red Riding Hood narrated and performed by Storied Winds, and The Little Prince narrated and performed by the OSFL String Group.
Since its founding in 2018, Stories with Music has grown from featuring a single group at just one library with support from one sponsor, to presenting three groups of OSFL musicians, thirty performances, fifteen libraries and multiple sponsors.
