A Fistful of Music

Music Newsletter for the Hiram College Library Community

May 2015

This is the last issue of Fistful for the academic year, but we’ll be back in the fall with more and more music. There are few who can claim to have typed the name “Loris Tjeknavorian “ so many times in one month other than Loris himself, but we won’t brag. You will find him conducting several programs of Armenian music. This time out we’ve got classic rock, bluegrass, Balkan wedding bands, classic R&B, jazz clarinet players, and enormous amounts of classical music. Any comments, questions or demands can be sent to Jeff Wanser, wanserjc@hiram.edu. We'll make more.
