Viewpoints: Music of a Changing Environment

July 8, 2018 @ 6:00 am - 7:00 am

FREE

Off the Hook Arts SummerFest Viewpoint Series presents John Pippen,Professor of Musicology, CSU Department of Music.

Presentation Description: Musicians have engage notions of nature in one form or another for centuries. From Enlightenment idealizations of the natural to modern depictions of beautiful places, composers have endeavored to describe and engage nature. More recent musical works have, however, taken on a newly urgent tone. Ecological disaster, global climate change, and the newly-sanctioned development of public lands have encouraged a more politically assertive tone. This talk explored these themes in a variety of recent works addressing coastal erosion, Hurricane Katrina, and other headline-grabbing events.
