Art, Music, and the Aesthetics of Power in Early Modern Europe
September 29, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 8:45 pm
an EVENING DIALOGUES seminar
Take an evening trip to Europe as we investigate the sights and sounds of courtly life in the Early Moden era. From the portraiture of the powerful in the Renaissance, to the study and performance of music for monarchs in the 18th century, this seminar will delve into the aesthetics that informed the powerful political class. An evening of learning and listening, including live performances of music on period instruments—featuring the baryton, “king of instruments/instrument of kings”—awaits.
Between the two presentations, guests will be able to enjoy dinner and roundtable conversation on the themes of art and power.
