A lecture by Mieko Kanno

This lecture explores ways in which we live with the dead through music by examining how we celebrate the afterlife of composers in classical music. which attributes exceptional value to the legacies of departed creative minds. It explores the concept of ‘afterlife’ as a window through which to examine how death is embraced and given new meaning in the art-music culture. We seek how the culture deals with recently-departed and living composers in its aesthetic practice. The lecture includes a musical performance as part of the presentation.
