Listen to live music each Friday at Noon at Central Library.
This week Ida Pelliccioli takes the stage in Central Library's Hamilton Room performing on the grand piano. Only in Canada on a limited engagement from Paris, concert pianist Ida Pelliccioli present a programme inspired by the forgotten music of Spanish composer Manuel Blasco de Nebra (1750–1784). Her performance takes audiences on a journey from Spanish keyboard music with Blasco de Nebra's recently discovered music and Scarlatti's keyboard sonatas, through to the Viennese Classic Style of Mozart and Schubert.

The first Hamilton Public Library building opened on September 16, 1890 by the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen on the north side of Main Street West. In 1913, a new main library opened. This building was replaced in 1980 by Central Library, at the current location on York Boulevard.
In 2010, Central Library re-opened after approximately 18 months of renovations. Central Library opened with a newly revitalized first floor, which includes a Community Living Room that takes advantage of natural light. The Ontario Library Association honoured Central in 2012 with an Architectural and Design Transformation award.
