CROSSCURRENTS. American and European Music in Interaction, 1900-2000. An international conference
Part I: Harvard University
See detailed listing for times and locations: www.crosscurrents08-09.org
|
Scholars, musicians, and the general public will come together for a three-day conference, “Crosscurrents. American and European Music in Interaction, 1900-2000” to begin forging collaborative ideas about the music exchange between the U.S. and Europe over the action-packed 20th century.
The aim of the conference, the first part of which is housed at Harvard University, is to present new research from an international group of scholars on the mutual influence between North America and Europe that affected virtually every aspect of musical life during the 20th century: exile and emigration, music and war, and cultural politics. Including topics as wide-ranging as the songs of African American entertainers in Vienna and the threat of Nazism within the framework of Oklahoma!, scholars from both sides of the Atlantic will come together to examine the musical interactions that resulted from an unprecedented 20th century musical migration of North American and European composers and their music.
All talks and conference events are free and open to the public.
