2:30 PM | Conversations with Kate van Orden: Mediation

This year’s Festival wrap takes an insider’s look at the arrangements and transcriptions used by professional and amateur musicians eager to experience the latest works from the opera house or concert hall at home. We’ll talk about why rescoring was such a phenomenon in the nineteenth century, who made arrangements, and the aesthetics at work. Festival musicians will be on hand to discuss the delights and challenges of playing like an orchestra.

Part of our Blattner series of lectures. Free with purchase of today’s concert ticket.
