Mitch Albom – Finding Your Magic Strings: How Everyone Has a Talent That Can Make a Difference
Through storytelling, piano playing, and even some singing, Albom shows the audience how a passion for one gift can often lead to discovery of another, truer one. In “Finding Your Magic Strings,” Mitch Albom will help you discover yours. With the release of his new book, “The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto,” bestselling author and humanitarian Mitch Albom is bringing some magic to the stage. Everyone has a talent. We just need to find it. Mitch Albom explores this theme with a presentation that follows his lifelong love and pursuit of music. He takes listeners on a journey from the old piano that arrived when he was eight to his failed songwriting career in New York City, which led him to find his own life-changing talent – writing. “Everyone joins a band in this life,” he observes, “be it through music, family, friends, or lovers. And those connections change the world. ”

A book signing will follow the program. Copies of “The Magic Strings of Frankie” will be available for purchase with your ticket and in the lobby following the presention.
