Präsentiert vom Goethe-Institut New York
digital salon: Beethoven Now welcomes three diverse thinkers and musicians--one conductor, one composer, and one philosopher--and asks them why
Beethoven is important to their praxis today, the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth.
Erina Yashima, a German conductor who has directed orchestras internationally and brings an intercultural perspective as a leading young concert artist;
Lydia Goehr, a Professor of Philosophy who hails from a family of notable German-Jewish musicians and has made important contributions to German aesthetic theory; and
Michael Alec Rose, a contemporary composer who has mentored generations of young musicians and articulated a unique connection to music of the past in his writings, have all made Beethoven central to their work through personal and committed approaches. They come together for an impromptu and engaging discussion of Beethoven’s relevance to their respective disciplines. In the spirit of a 19th century salon, we ask you to join the conversation and to engage these thinkers in dialogue in order to explore why Beethoven matters today. Beethoven’s music will be heard through audio excerpts and live musical demonstrations, and we hope to hear your voice as well.
digital salon is a new online event series by the Goethe-Institut New York. Taking its impetus from the present moment,
digital salon offers a space for thinkers from diverse and vibrant cultural, artistic, and intellectual disciplines to come together for spontaneous and engaging discussions. Its topics are culled from the social, political, and cultural life of contemporary Germany.
This event will be held live over Zoom - please RSVP to attend. It will also be streamed live on our Facebook page.
