Department of Music Free Concert Series

What can the arts teach us about humanity, especially at a time when the humanities is being forced to justify its relevance to society? This talk takes a ballet from the Western European canon, The Rite of Spring, to remind us how the interplay of music, dance, costuming, and visual art point to something much more universal: a human mistrust of corporeal difference and the continued fight for agency.
