David Schober, Aaron Copland School of Music, Queens College, CUNY “Musical Responses to Disaster: The Rushford Flood of 2007”
Detailed Information “For centuries, artists have been moved by tragedy -- by events both contemporary and historical. When my home town in rural Minnesota was largely destroyed by flooding in August, I could scarcely fathom how quickly everything had changed, especially in a quiet, nurturing community where change typically occurs very slowly. As the town continues its recovery, I am inspired by the extraordinary efforts of its citizens, including my parents, and countless volunteers from elsewhere; I am also beginning to create a compositional response to the incident.”
David Schober is Assistant Professor of Music Theory and Composition at the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College in New York. In the 2002-03 he was a Graduate Student Fellow at the Institute for the Humanities at the University of Michigan, where he completed a Ph.D. in music theory and composition.
Free and open to the public.
