Event description
PhiloMusica - Music and (New) World
This program fulfils our cancelled 2021 July 4 tribute to American Independence at the Kendall School of Arts featuring a program of music by Bernstein, Dvorak, Gershwin, Korngold and traditional music. Our friend Leslie Tan, renowned cellist of the Tan quartet returns to Kendall from Singapore to perform with pianist Jeanell Carrigan and violinist Goetz Richter in a superb program of popular music inspired by nature and truth.
The popular Kendall PhiloMusica series explores music in the context of a discussion of philosophical ideas. PhiloMusica
on July 3 2022 will present the thought of Henry Thoreau
and Ralph Waldo Emerson – the nineteenth century New England
Transcendalists who continued to powerfully influence social and
ecological political movements throughout the twentieth century
including movements of civil disobedience and the advancement of human
rights. We will explore the topic of music and world in the pre-concert talk at 1 pm (free with concert ticket) on the day of performance.
