Seeing Music, Hearing Art
presented by David Banney
Leonardo and Palestrina, Picasso and Stravinsky, Debussy and Matisse - Art and Music are never produced in a vacuum, and the histories of art and music have run similar courses, with music always a little way behind. This lecture traces the major historical movements of the last 1000 years, exploring the parallels between sound and visual images. How can we “hear” perspective? How can we “see“ sonata form? What does Rothko sound like, and what does Philip Glass look like? Why does music take longer to catch up?
