Wednesday, November 11 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm CST
From our Sounds of the Cold War in 2024 to 1945 in 2025, Guarneri Hall has invited audiences to join us in exploring the connections between key historical events to the transformative power of music. On November 11-12, we’ll continue that tradition with Revolutions, examining the intersections of political, social, technological, and musical change at two more pivotal moments in world history.
Revolutions 1 explores these questions through the music and politics of 1796, in the aftermath of the French Revolution. In fact, post-revolutionary Paris was also home to a revolutionary time in the development of the bow. Violinist and violin expert Stefan Hersh will explain how changes in bow design led to changes in music that helped to usher in the heightened emotional range of the Romantic era that followed.
A program of selected works by Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven will bring these revolutionary changes to life.
