Bestselling Author Kelly Corrigan to Read at Bozeman Symphony Storytime

BOZEMAN, Mont. – The Bozeman Symphony welcomes New York Times bestselling author and acclaimed podcast host Kelly Corrigan as the featured reader for Symphony Storytime on Wednesday, Sept. 17, at 10:15 a.m. at the Bozeman Public Library. Corrigan will be joined by classical guitarist Nora Spielman, who will accompany the program on banjo.

Corrigan is a passionate advocate for early learning and strong families, known for bringing humor, honesty, and humanity to conversations that matter most. She hosts the PBS interview series Tell Me More and the podcast Kelly Corrigan Wonders. Her bestselling books—The Middle Place, Lift, Glitter and Glue, and Tell Me More—explore family life and themes such as love, loss, and resilience. Dubbed “the voice of a generation” by O Magazine and “the poet laureate of the ordinary” by HuffPost, Corrigan recently co-authored a children’s book, Marianne the Maker, with her daughter. The story celebrates creativity, curiosity, and the spirit of lifelong learning.

Featured alongside her for this special program is Spielman, a New York native and Assistant Teaching Professor at Montana State University’s Honors College and School of Music. An accomplished performer and educator, Spielman holds a Doctorate in Music with a focus on classical guitar performance from SUNY Stony Brook. She has commissioned new works for solo guitar by female composers and maintains an active career as both a performer and teacher in Montana and New York.

Presented in partnership with the Library’s Toddler and Preschool Storytime, this free, interactive program blends engaging storytelling with the joy of live music, offering a delightful experience for children ages 3–5 and their families.

Families can also look ahead to the next Symphony Storytime of the season on Wednesday, Oct. 8, at 10:15 a.m. at the Bozeman Public Library.
