North Central Michigan College’s Luncheon Lectures

North Central Michigan College’s Luncheon Lecture will be, "Dismal Flutes and Dirty Clarinets: Woodwinds and Wealth in Dickens."
What's the connection between Charles Dickens and composer Felix Mendelssohn?  Most people associate Dickens with the written word, but there is a strong connection between Dickens and music. Suzanne Shumway, Ph.D., retired English professor, will explain the strong presence it exerts in most, if not all, of his novels. She will show how Dickens uses two characters, both woodwind players, to teach the moral lessons he wishes to impart to his readers.
