Let’s Talk Music at the Peninsula Center Library is a welcoming gathering for anyone who loves listening deeply and talking about music across genres and eras. Held in the Purcell Meeting Room, this free program invites music fans to slow down, listen closely, and share thoughts in a relaxed, conversational setting. Beginning at 5:30 pm, it offers an easy and enriching way to spend an evening surrounded by fellow music enthusiasts.

Each session centers around a curated selection of albums that span decades and styles, creating space for thoughtful discussion and discovery. January’s lineup includes Bobby Hebb’s Sunny from 1966, a soulful and optimistic classic; Cannonball Adderley’s Somethin’ Else from 1958, a landmark jazz recording known for its warmth and musicianship; and Bobby Oroza’s This Love from 2019, a modern soul album with a timeless feel. Together, these choices encourage listeners to explore how music evolves while still connecting across generations.

The format is simple and inviting. Participants listen, reflect, and share perspectives, making it approachable whether you are deeply knowledgeable about music or simply curious and eager to learn. The discussion aspect allows for personal interpretation, shared memories, and new insights, often revealing how differently the same music can resonate from person to person.
