Classical Excursions: Lecture #4 – Stravinsky vs Schönberg

ACM announces a four-part virtual lecture series on classical music given by our Executive Director Seth Boustead.

We’re working very hard to pay our musicians for canceled events and to pay our teaching artists for lessons canceled because of Covid-19. All proceeds from this series go to support those efforts.

Before there were rap battles there was the epic, well ok maybe not epic but certainly consequential, showdown between two titans of 20th century music: Igor Stravinsky and Arnold Schoenberg. This lecture will talk about how each composer had a hand in indelibly defining a century of classical music with reverberations continuing today.
