It's not your typical lecture. Get ready to laugh and be entertained on July 22 and 23 when renowned musicologist and lecturer Robert Greenberg will return to Ravinia to present a series of seminars on the music of Shostakovich and Mozart.
Dr. Greenberg returns by popular demand after delivering a series of acclaimed talks on Mahler last season and will present three different lectures over the course of the two days:
Saturday, July 22 from 3 to 5pm: "Ears Will Hear!: the Life and Symphonies of Dmitri Shostakovich"
Saturday, July 22 from 6 to 7:15pm:"Protest and Revelation: Shostakovich's Symphony No. 13, 'Babi Yar'"
Sunday, July 23 from 3 to 4:30pm: "Formal Behavior: Musical Structure in the Classical Era"
All of the talks will take place in the Martin Theatre and are FREE to any concert ticket holder (lawn pass or pavilion ticket).
Robert Greenberg combines humor and scholarship to produce captivating and theatrical talks that mesmerize audiences. He has performed, taught, and lectured extensively across North America and Europe. He is music historian-in-residence with San Francisco Performances, the city's premier presenter of chamber music, instrumental and vocal recitals, jazz, and contemporary dance. His music history lectures recorded by the Teaching Company are best sellers and have achieved international acclaim.
Ravinia is honored to bring Dr. Greenberg back during this Shostakovich and Mozart anniversary year.
