Event Details
What kind of music emerges in conditions of war, exile, and violence? Does it help people cope, provide distraction, or document lived experience? Drawing on case studies from World War II, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the Israel–Gaza war, this seminar explores how both amateur and professional musicians respond to violence through creative expression, examining works produced during conflict and in its immediate aftermath.
