An informal lunch or coffee time to meet virtually with Kislak curators and talk about one of the manuscripts from Penn's collections. Each week we'll feature a different manuscript and the expertise of one of our curators. Everyone is welcome to attend.

On September 12, Head of the Otto E. Albrecht Music Library & Eugene Ormandy Music & Media Center Liza Vick brought out a poetry chapbook by conductor James DePreist, paired with a handwritten letter from DePreist to his aunt, contralto Marian Anderson.
