In the Stacks: Facets of Love with Mandy Brown

Thursday, February 12, 2026
6:30pm - 7:30pm
George Peabody Library
Audience:  Open to the Public  

Soprano Mandy Brown and pianist Tatiana Loisha will present Facets of Love: Receiving & Reflecting Love’s Light, a concert that blends poetry with music to celebrate love in its many forms.

Reaching beyond the romantic, the program features works that explore the depth and complexity of love's expressions, including unrequited love, self-love, friendship, familial bonds, and loss. Robert Schumann’s Widmung, Dvořák’s Songs My Mother Taught Me, and Liszt’s Liebestraum No. 3 will be featured alongside other music centered on the experience of receiving and sharing love.

To mark the occasion, rare love songs and historic valentines from the Sheridan Libraries’ Special Collections will be on display for one night only. Join us to celebrate love in one of the world’s most beautiful libraries.
