Russian Avant-Garde and Contemporary Music
Details
Ever wondered how the great masters "encoded" meaning into their music?
Join us at Tufts University for an immersive talk by New York-based composer and media artist Oleg Troyanovsky. We will dive into the visionary world of the Russian Avant-Garde and explore how these radical ideas shaped modern digital culture and film.
We will listen together and discuss the works of Scriabin, Stravinsky, and Schnittke. We will also explore:
- Legendary Duos: The creative chemistry of Prokofiev & Eisenstein and Tarkovsky & Artemyev.
- Sound as Architecture: How film scores became more than just background music.
- Innovative Projects: Oleg will present his work with the London Symphony Orchestra, the Periodic Table sonification, and his "musical portrait" project, Selenus.
- 🗣️ Language: English
- 🍷 Bonus: Free admission, refreshments included, and FREE on-campus parking.
Space is limited. 👉 RSVP here or register via the link to secure your spot: https://forms.gle/DRETeyFkqrMf8MGY7
