The San Luis Obispo Master Chorale is hosting two educational presentations given by E. Douglas Bomberger, PhD, professor of music emeritus at Elizabethtown College, as part of its Beyond the Notes series.
“Dvořák, Beach, and American Music in the 1890s” presented by E. Douglas Bomberger, PhD
The establishment of major orchestras, the building of concert halls, and the explosive popularity of ragtime reflected America’s hunger for music of the 1890s. Explore the cultural climate of the decade through the works of renowned Czech composer Antonín Dvořák and America’s leading female composer Amy Beach.
Free admission with concert ticket.
Beyond the Notes features leading scholars who share an in-depth look at the cultural and historical context of the music performed by the San Luis Obispo Master Chorale. The educational events offer the opportunity to meet and learn from a noted expert on the subject, an enhanced understanding of the music, an increased appreciation for the music and live performance, and spread awareness about the arts.
These presentations coincide with the SLO Master Chorale’s concert on Sunday, November 23, at 3 pm at the Performing Arts Center San Luis Obispo. Titled “Songs of Joy,” it features inspiring music and uplifting works by Dvořák, Mozart, and Amy Beach to highlight the joys of music. More details are available at www.slomasterchorale.org.
