Save the Date

Dr. Evan O’Dorney will give a lecture on the Christian roots of Western musical styles, touring how scales and harmony have operated in the music of various periods (Gregorian chant, Renaissance, Baroque, etc.). We will examine the ways in which structures (arising from the portrayal of salvation history) have challenged composers to create works of enduring beauty that have shaped Western culture.

We will then head downtown to attend the PSO’s rendition of Beethoven’s “Pastoral.”

Locations for lecture and dinner will be announced closer to the date!
