The Nightingale in Rochester: Jenny Lind Visits the Flour City In-Person

In the summer of 1851, the arrival of Swedish singing sensation Jenny Lind created a wave of excitement around the City of Rochester.

This lively lecture will explain all, and show the direct connection between her concerts and the founding of the Eastman School of Music.
