The free lecture will be held in Scales Fine Arts Center, Room M308.
Pollack, who is a prolific writer, is currently working on a critical biography of George Gershwin. He has written four books, including critical biographies of Aaron Copland, Walter Piston and John Alden Carpenter, and numerous articles and reviews for journals and encyclopedias.
