Music as a Mirror of History – Part 2
In painting and literature, it’s easy to see where history and art intersect. In Picasso’s “Guernica” or Tolstoy’s “War and Peace,” for example, it’s evident how works of art mirror and participate in the life of their times – sometimes even playing a role in historical events. But what about music? How do the influential works of Western concert music and the historical times that surrounded them intersect? Attend this class to find out! April 1 – Dvorak – “New World Symphony” April 8 - Berlioz/de L’Isle April 15 – Copland – Symphony 3
The Celtic World
Discover the incredible story of the Celtic-speaking peoples, whose art, language and culture once spread from Ireland to Austria. This series of 24 enlightening lectures explains the traditional historical view of who the Celts were, then contrasts it with brand new evidence from DNA analysis and archeology that totally changes our perspective on where the Celts came from. The Celts profoundly affected European history and culture, from the myth of King Arthur to the very map of the United Kingdom, where the English confronted the peoples of the “Celtic Fringe.” April 22 – Who Are The Celts?
