How does change really happen? What is revolutionary change? Are there relationships between political revolution, social revolution and musical revolution?
Revolutions 2 explores these questions through the music and politics of 1918, in the wake of World War I and the Russian Revolution. As monarchies dissolved and empires transformed, boundaries that had previously constrained composers gave way and new compositional freedoms burst forth, as evidenced in works by Ravel, Stravinsky and Janáček.
Social scientist Andreas Glaser will add perspective to what promises to be a 3-way conversation between scholars, musicians and the Guarneri Hall audience.
