Our Lecture Series continues this June with a lecture / recital on acclaimed Polish composer Karol Szymanowski. The talk will be in English followed by a wine reception.
Featuring live music from Michał Ćwiżewicz, John Paul Ekins and Marie-Anne Hall. Lecture by James Savage-Hanford.
The ways Karol Szymanowski’s music has been received among scholars and, more generally, among concert-going audiences in both Poland and Britain prompts numerous questions regarding social, cultural, historical, and ideological influence. An exploration of the concerns underpinning Szymanowski’s reception at home and abroad effectively allows us insight into two cultural contexts: the music serves as a lens through which certain place-determined aesthetic judgements may be brought into focus.
