Seminar Description
This is the first of two chronological seminars covering the people, organizations, and events of music in New York City. From its modest beginning of a public concert in 1736, the city has become America’s prime focus of orchestral and chamber music, solo performance, opera, jazz, swing, popular songs, and musical comedy, as well as the music industry itself. In this seminar, we will explore New York’s musical development from 1736 through the 1920s with contemporary and modern recordings of representative works. Eight sessions.
Guy A. Marco (BMus, American Conservatory of Music; PhD, University of Chicago) has taught in 11 universities and written or edited 50 books. He has led Newberry seminars since 1996.
