"Musical Identities"
Lecture two: "Hidden Histories"
April 17, 2021
The hidden history of colonialism in the classical music repertoire is rarely acknowledged in the concert hall. This lecture will explore it by taking as a case study Maurice Ravel's Chansons Madécasses (Songs of Madagascar), a staple of the vocal repertoire, originally composed in the 1920s.
This is the second lecture in a three lecture series presented in the spring of 2021 at the University of Chicago.
Named for Randy L. and Melvin R. Berlin, the Berlin Family Lectures bring leading scholars, writers, and creative artists from around the world to the University of Chicago. Learn more at berlinfamilylectures.uchicago.
