Charles McKnight, an associate professor of music at the University of North Carolina at Asheville and a specialist in the history of Russian music, explores many of the musical styles prevalent during the arts and crafts period.
Because the first decades of the 20th century were teeming with numerous innovations in musical style, Russian, German, French and American composers sought to find new ways to express the dynamic nature of modern society while, often at the same time, paying homage to nostalgic influences.
Among the styles of music that McKnight will discuss and preview are Impressionism, Expressionism; Primitivism and Nationalism. He will also note their affinities with the visual and literary arts.
The Gamble House, a National Historic Landmark owned by the City of Pasadena and operated by USC, is open for public tours.
