Event Details

Join Dr. Rosenbaum at the Kent Library for an exciting hour of music history plus a Q&A! 

In this hour-long presentation, Dr. Rosenbaum will cover the history of Western Classical Music from ancient times to the present- discussing the formation and evolution of musical genres including opera, symphonies, and concertos (and more), plus the circumstances which led to the creation of these works.

Throughout the lecture, Dr. Rosenbaum will be at the piano to highlight and display excerpts of many of these works, demonstrating the evolving styles which composers from each period first abided by, and then expanded, thus changing history, and influencing others to do the same.
