The Evolution of Russian Music. Six Lectures by Anna Vilenskaya
Address:
Hudson Park Library
66 Leroy Street New York, NY 10014
Event:
In this six-lecture series, we will explore the evolution of Russian music from the 18th to the 20th centuries. Our discussions will go beyond the music itself, delving into the societal contexts in which these composers lived, their relationships with the tsarist authorities, their visions of Russia, and their personal fates. Of course, we will also examine the musical details and answer the question, “How is this made?” Understanding the structure of musical fabric, rhythm, and harmony can dramatically enhance the listening experience, revealing new layers and dimensions in the music. We will ensure to cover this aspect thoroughly.
*Space is limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
While it’s recommended to attend the entire series, each lecture stands alone as an independent narrative, yet together, they form a cohesive story.
