Each semester, CCM welcomes distinguished experts for a series of free musical discussions and lectures. This spring, the Thinking About Music lecture series will present four free public talks, beginning with a presentation on cross-disciplinary approaches to music and mobility by Harvard University Professor of Musicology Kate van Orden this Friday, Jan. 26.
Sponsored by the Joseph and Frances Jones Poetker Fund of the Cambridge Charitable Foundation, these music theory and history discussions feature diverse topics presented by distinguished experts from all over the United States and are designed to engage participants’ imaginations and to consider music in new ways.
This semester’s lecturers also include Vanderbilt University Blair School of Music Professor Douglas Shadle (Feb. 9), Indiana University Jacobs School of Music Professor Kyle Adams (March 23) and Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University Professor Datta Ram Purohit (March 30).
Since its inception in 1997, the Thinking About Music Series has presented nearly 130 lectures and one symposium by guests from a number of different colleges, universities, schools of music, foundations, institutes, museums and publications.
The subjects of the lectures have covered historical musicology, music theory and ethnomusicology, along with the ancillary fields of organology, dance, music business and law, cognitive psychology, and the philosophy, theology and sociology of music.
