Rock Island Public Library

This year's Frieze Lecture Series celebrates the 150th anniversary of Augustana College. The annual lecture series partnership allows library guests to explore fascinating topics from Augustana College lecturers without tests or grades! On Nov. 4, Dr. James Lambrecht, professor of trumpet and director of bands at Augustana, will speak on the college's oldest musical ensemble, the Augustana Symphonic Band.  Each free lecture starts at 2 p.m. at the Rock Island Main Library, and includes coffee and conversation afterwards.

The 13th annual series is presented Thursday, Oct. 21 and 28 and Nov. 4 and 11.
