Cooper Center: Music Appreciation Class — Patsy Cline, Apr. 16

Frank King will deliver a lecture on the one and only Patsy Kline at the Cooper Center (345 Walnut Street, Newtonville) on Thursday, April 16 from 1:30-2:30PM.

King will focus on the gorgeous recordings and tragic life of Patsy Cline, considered to possess one of the most beautiful voices of all time, who crossed over from her country music roots to become a major popular star. Also: the story behind 3 big hits from the Great Year of 1959, and the interesting history of one of the most recorded songs of all time: Hoagy Carmichael’s “Stardust.”

Mr. King holds a Masters in Broadcasting from Boston University and a BA from Princeton. A lifelong devotee of recorded music, he has hosted music programs on WBUR radio, and was a News Producer at WCVB TV and an Asst. Professor at BU. His lectures draw from the music and art from his personal
collection of over 2,500 record albums. He has presented several hundred highly acclaimed music lectures around Greater Boston and Cape Cod since 2014.
