ARNOLD SCHOENBERG AND THE 1913 SCANDAL CONCERT
Joy H. Calico, Vanderbilt University
On March 31 of 1913, Arnold Schoenberg conducted a concert in the Great Hall of Viennas Musikverein, which became known as the citys most notorious scandal concert. The event was broken up by a melee, charges were filed and the subsequent court proceedings were reported in the press. This lecture analyzes the ways in which both the scandal and Schoenbergs response to it sit at the nexus of
fin-de-siècle
anxieties about Central European concert life, the anti-noise movement and emerging copyright law.

London 1913. Women are demanding the right to vote. Thousands of suffragettes of all classes serve time in Holloway Prison in their determination to gain equality through the vote.

Her Naked Skin

STEPPING IN THE MADANG: SITE-SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE IN KOREAN DRUMMING AND DANCE

In Korean folk expressive culture, the outdoor village courtyard or

madang
and site-specific performance concepts are applied by contemporary

yeonhui
groups. These groups consist of performers who are trained in Korean drumming and other traditional performing arts but who combine them into new works.

The Joseph and Frances Jones Poetker Thinking About Music Lecture Series
ELECTRIC BATON: SOUND, SCIENCE AND THE BIRTH OF THE PODIUM CONDUCTOR
Francesca Brittan, Case Western Reserve University
Hector Berlioz, among the first of the modern conductors, was a larger-than-life figure, at once magisterial, quasi-magical and military. Among the formative moments of his conducting career was a concert given at the height of the
Exposition universelle
(Paris, 1855), which established him as a musical leader of formidable power. Here he relied on a new wedding of music and technology an electric baton to wield the massive forces under his command. This talk examines the nature of his device and, more broadly, the ways in which telegraphy and electricity (both artificial and nervous) emerged as central to romantic notions of conducting.
