UPCOMING PROGRAMMING

ORNAMENTUM LECTURE SERIES: SENSING MUSICAL LANDSCAPES: BONI'S 1620 SINGLE-MANUAL HARPSICHORD WITH NOLAN SPRANGERS

October 10, 2024, 7 - 8 p.m.

This presentation will provide a timeline of the pastoral genre as it has developed through literature, visual arts, and music from ancient Greece to the present day. Specifically, Nolan Sprangers will discuss the sometimes vague ways music has engaged this genre in order to provide a broader context for understanding Boni's instrument and its decoration. More broadly, his interdisciplinary approach highlights how the arts have continued to mediate one another when engaging with natural topics. The presentation will include photographs and musical excerpts.
