Music and Identity - In-person Event
In a globalized world, composers are negotiating their identities in relation to both their cultural origins and broader, global contexts. Their music serves as a powerful medium for expressing and exploring these identities. By understanding and embracing the diversity of musical influences and backgrounds, societies can foster a rich and inclusive cultural landscape.
Join LBI and 1014 as we hear from four world-renowned composers, Craig Urquhart (Germany), Sergei Newsky (Russia), Konstantia Gourzi (Greece), and Tamar Muskal (Israel), from across the Atlantic to discuss their identity in our globalized world and present samples of their music. Moderated by pianist and concert curator Sophia Zhou. Curated and co-moderated by sculptor and artist Alexander Polzin. With music provided by the Juilliard School, as well as by performer Omar El-Okdah.
