Conductor James Conlon examines how compositions were affected by the rise of Nazism and the events of World War II.
One of today’s preeminent conductors, James Conlon has cultivated a vast symphonic, operatic and choral repertoire. He has developed enduring relationships with the world’s most prestigious symphony orchestras and opera houses through more than 30 years of conducting.
In this lecture, Conlon will explore how compositions and performances were affected by the rise of Nazism and the events of World War II and will look at parallels in societies around the world today.
It is a topic relevant to both eras: What happens when art and society collide?
Young artists will be invigorated and encouraged to examine contemporary challenges, connect with historical perspectives and discover their own role in fostering art.
