Everything but the Opera with Matt Aucoin “Chopin: Master of the Keys”
Monday, May 7, 2:00 pm
Matt will perform and discuss one of the greatest innovators in the history of the keyboard, Frédéric Chopin, whose solo piano music deepened pianists' range of harmonic colors and physical power. You could say that we have Chopin to thank for the wild athleticism of modern pianists. Matt will have a go at some of Chopin's intense demands on the performer.
“We Shall Overcome” A Brief History of Civil Rights Songs with Stephen Richer
Saturday, May 12, 7:45 pm
It will be argued in this lecture that slave-era spirituals, because of their often coded messages of hope and freedom, are among the oldest of North American protest songs. Further, their structure and content are the source for many of the civil rights songs of the sixties. As we trace the the evolution of civil rights songs, you will be invited to sing along to illustrate the power of collective voice.
