Lecture: American music and Alexander Calder’s musical mobiles

Please join us on Thursday, February 18 at 7-30p.m. for a fascinating lecture about American music culture. The United States is often said to be a cultural melting pot, taking in influences from across the world and creating distinctively new methods of cultural expression. Aspects of American music are so deep and kaleidoscopic due to the constant evolution of music through transplanting and hybridizing techniques, instruments and genres. Many of the later 20th-century composers, such as John Cage, Charles Ives, Le Monte Young, Philip Glass, Terry Riley, Aaron Copland, Nicolas Slonimsky, Leo Ornstein and Steve Reich, used avant-garde modernist and minimalist techniques which make all of them a “cause célèbre”, and the artworks and performances by them an issue, arousing widespread controversy and public debate.

Also, Alexander Calder who was an American sculptor known as the originator of the mobile, a type of moving sculpture made with delicately balanced shapes that move in response to touch or air currents.

Simply magnificent! Don’t miss this opportunity to discover American music culture direct from Evgenia Lianskaya – Curator of Musical Culture Department, State Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts.
