Stewart, Donna	The Tudors	History, Literature- Authors, Music	Join us as we travel through time and trace an ever-evolving musical style during the 118-year reign of England's Tudor monarchs. All the Tudors were trained in music from childhood and were accomplished lutenists, singers, and even composers. Using the framework of the Tudor dynasty - 1485 through 1603 - we present a broad range of musical styles reflecting the varied musical influences left by this musically gifted clan, all of whom employed legions of important musicians, French, Flemish, Spanish and Italian. Our samplings from the bounteous Tudor musical legacy begin with mesmerizing rondeaux from the time of Henry VII, romp through the familiar lusty fare of Henry VIII's tempestuous court, sample serene sacred music to please the devout so-called Bloody Mary, and indulge in the lush and familiar songs from Elizabeth's Golden Age.	$501- $1000
Pelham, Ruth	Room For Us All concerts	Multicultural- Other, Music, Performing Arts- Other	Reduced fees available for multiple programs in one day or block booking with multiple libraries for the same day. In these complex times when including each child in a loving circle of belonging is crucial to assuring the safety and well-being of our communities, this song-filled concert affirms that each of us can be kind and caring human beings at home, in school, and in our local and global communities. Based on Ruth Pelham’s original songs such as 'Love is All Around,' 'Each of Us Is Kind,' 'The Meanies,' and 'Under One Sky,' participants sing along about peace, friendship, compassion, kindness, inclusion, patience, and other themes. 'Room For Us All' teaches the value of intentional, cooperative, and peaceful relationships as a way of us benefiting from the richness of the human web of life. 'Room For Us All' CDs & activity books also available.	$501- $1000
