Sarah Rothenberg: Making Music with the Media of the Stage
Friday, February 21, 2014 | | Bitó Conservatory Building
Presented by The Bard College Conservatory of Music and Music Program
Taking a quote from Arnold Schoenberg as the title of her lecture/presentation, pianist Sarah Rothenberg discusses her original multimedia productions that link music to visual art, literature, and the history of ideas. Central to several productions is an exploration of Schoenberg's own music and its relationship to German theatre (Moondrunk), identity and exile (The Musical World of Thomas Mann), abstraction in visual art (The Blue Rider in Performance) and the fin-de-siècle Vienna of Freud and Klimt (In the Garden of Dreams).
Presented by the Music Department and the Conservatory
