In this colloquium, we’ll examine the intersections of identities and cultures through shared musical experiences. Through the varied lenses of American popular music and contemporary American “art” music, we’ll interrogate musical life on the university campus and in the city of Eugene. Students will have opportunities to attend live concerts, streamed live productions, and speak with arts leaders, toward the goal of uncovering how and under what circumstances identities are constructed, reified, transgressed, and sublimated through the art of music.
