April 20, 2026: Concordia Conservatory closes its 2025–26 More Than Music faculty concert series with Music & Mythology on Sunday, May 3, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. The concert will be held at the home of Laurie and Hoke Slaughter in Bronxville.
This engaging 45-minute concert-lecture explores how mythological stories have inspired composers across centuries. Through music and storytelling, audiences will encounter legendary figures including Zeus, Orpheus, Penelope, and heroes of the Trojan War, discovering how composers transform ancient myths into vivid musical narratives.
The program features Concordia Conservatory faculty artists Katherine Lerner Lee, soprano, Monica Bauchwitz, violin, and Marija Ilic, piano, performing works by Schubert, Schumann, Musto, and Vaughan Williams.
“Mythology has long inspired composers and poets alike,” said Kathleen Suss, Executive Director of Concordia Conservatory. “This program brings those timeless stories to life through music and conversation, allowing audiences to experience the powerful connection between poetry, legend, and musical expression.”
The More Than Music series combines performance with conversation, giving audiences an intimate look at the artistry and insight of Concordia Conservatory’s distinguished faculty in an intimate and welcoming setting.

The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.
The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.
The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
