A Special Saturday Presentation! 

Music for a New Age: 100th Anniversary of the Titanic

Join Jane Ellen on Saturday, April 14 at 10:30am at UNM Continuing Ed Building for a special event.

She was the grandest ship ever built, declared unsinkable by her architects. The RMS Titanic, which sank 100 years ago today (April 14), was equipped with the best that money could buy, including first rate musical arrangements for the resident White Star Bands and Orchestras. We will listen to some of the music that would have been played on board, and we will also explore some of the changes in popular music during this first decade of the twentieth century.
