Jessica Maier: Rome: Reinvention and the Eternal City
This program is taking place remotely. If you have signed up, you will receive an email with details of how to access the program ___________ Rome is one of the most captivating cities in the world, a magnet for pilgrims and tourists, poets and artists, almost since the time of its founding more than 2500 years ago. A good part of its mystique lies in its unbroken history—the countless incarnations and eras that merge in the cityscape. No other...
On Wagner with Alex Ross
92nd Street Y @ Online Classroom, New York, NY
How did Wagner’s art become a proving ground where the Western world has wrestled with its capacity for beauty and violence? For better or worse, Wagner is the most widely influential figure in the history of music. Artist like Woolf, Mann, Duncan and Buñuel saw him as a kindred spirit. Anarchists, occultists, feminists, and gay-rights pioneers did as well. Then with the rise of Nazi Germany, the composer came to be defined by his ferocious antisemitism....

George and Ira: The Last Songs
92nd Street Y @ 1395 Lexington Ave, New York, NY
The last year of George’s life found the Gershwin team in Hollywood. They would write the songs for three films: the Astaire/Rogers Shall We Dance; Damsel in Distress, which teamed Astaire with Joan Bennett; and Goldwyn Follies. These last songs reveal a deeper, more relaxed sophistication, maturity, and brilliance in the writing, and proved to the many doubters of the time that after the “highbrow” Porgy and Bess, they...

Mozart: The 40th Symphony in G Minor—An In-Depth Look
This program is taking place remotely. If you have signed up, you will receive an email with details of how to access the program. __________________ Mozart’s 40th is one of the monumental works of the orchestral literature, but is familiar enough to the concert going audience to be taken for granted. We burrow deeply inside the music and the context within which it was written with the goal of making this brilliant, but familiar work feel fresh...
Bob Dylan: Oh, Mercy
This program is taking place remotely. If you have signed up, you will receive an email with details of how to access the program. ______________ This 1989 album is one of Dylan’s greatest albums (one of my absolute favorite albums) and among his least appreciated. These were songs born of personal crisis, not the least of which was Dylan’s own feeling that he was written out. The story of the writing of these songs and the making of this album...
Irving Berlin, America’s Songwriter
This program is taking place remotely. If you have signed up, you will receive an email with details of how to access the program. ________________ Composer George Gershwin called him "the greatest songwriter that has ever lived," and according to composer Jerome Kern, "Irving Berlin has no place in American music — he is American music.” His journey is the quintessential immigrant’s journey from rags to riches, from Russia to the Lower...
Gershwin: Concerto in F
This program is taking place remotely. If you have signed up, you will receive an email with details of how to access the program. __________________ The excitement surrounding the premiere of Rhapsody in Blue in February 1924 made George Gershwin the most visible—and marketable—American composer of his generation, and immediately led to a commission for a new piano concerto from the NY Philharmonic. Gershwin told his first biographer,...
Aaron Copland and the Great Depression
This program is taking place remotely. If you have signed up, you will receive an email with details of how to access the program ___________ The 1929 stock market crash and the financial collapse that followed marked the end of the 1920’s and the optimistic Jazz Age. Copland’s style during the first half of the 1930’s leaves overt elements of jazz behind, and moves between a deeply expressive austerity, as reflected in his pointedly political ...
Harold Arlen and the Blues
This program is taking place remotely. If you have signed up, you will receive an email with details of how to access the program. __________________ This is immediately apparent when we consider the character of only a handful of his greatest, most enduring songs: “Stormy Weather,” “Blues in the Night,” “One For My Baby (and One More for the Road),” “Come Rain or Come Shine,” “I’ve Got the World on a String,” “Accentuate...
Aaron Copland and the Sound of America, Part I
Aaron Copland and the Sound of America, Part I, 1938-1939 By the latter half of the 1930’s, Copland was concerned that, in his words, “…the conventional concert public was apathetic or indifferent to anything but the established classics,” and that “…we composers were in danger of working in a vacuum.” He makes the conscious decision to try to reach that broader audience by exploring a new “imposed simplicity” in his music—saying...
Aaron Copland and the Sound of America, Part II
Aaron Copland and the Sound of America, Part II, 1940-1942 Following Copland down his path of a new “imposed simplicity” in his music and exploring collaborations with artists in other mediums, we explore two pieces from the early 1940s: his stunningly beautiful and moving urban nightscape, Quiet City (1940), drawn from the music composed for a play that was produced by the legendary Group Theater; and the brilliant, popular score...
Court and Spark: Joni Mitchell & Art in the Marketplace
By 1973, Joni Mitchell was ready for a change. In an interview at that time she said, “I just couldn’t stay in that lonely Blue place very long.” And she wanted a band. Enter Tom Scott and the L.A. Express. The table was now set for another artistic breakthrough, this one unexpectedly accompanied by stunning commercial success. Her 1974 release, Court and Spark, offers a song cycle-like narrative clothed in a jazz-rock sound fusion that reflects...
