History of Music Part 4

A HISTORY OF WESTERN MUSIC… ABRIDGED

Western music is an integral part of our culture, but rarely do we take the time to learn about how motets, symphonies, operas, nocturnes, musicals and more came to be. In this four part series, join Joshua Borths, Director of Education at Arizona Opera, on a journey from the music of Ancient Greece to the songs of today. Celebrate the sounds of the past, and what they reveal about the world of today.

Modern Extremes

Influenced by the anguish of world wars, the music of the twentieth century explored uncharted musical waters and redefined the meaning of the word “music.” Today, we are still unraveling these musical experiments today as contemporary composers express the world around us all.
