Time's Echo with Jeremy Eichler, 2/14
Granoff Music Center
The Music Department, with co-sponsorship with Office of the Vice Provost for Research, the Toupin-Bolwell Fund of Arts and Sciences, Center for the Humanities at Tufts, Fisch College-Civic Studies, and the Departments of Music, Sound, and Culture, History, German, Judaic Studies, and International Literary, and Cultural Studies, invite you to a special event in the Distler Performance Hall on February 14 at 6 p.m.
Time’s Echo: The Second World War, the Holocaust, and the Music of Remembrance is a new genre-blurring book by Jeremy Eichler, chief classical music critic of The Boston Globe. It has been named “History Book of the Year” by The Sunday Times and hailed as “the outstanding music book of this and several years” by The Times Literary Supplement.
The book aims to deepen how we think about the legacies of war, the memory of culture, and the renewed promise of art for our lives today. Join faculty from across A&S to explore the broader implications of its arguments, its literary style, and its spirited defense of humanism for many forms of scholarship and artistic expression.
The event will include performances from Olivier Messiaen’s Quartet for The End of Time (1941) and Kareem Roustom’s Aleppo Songs (2016).
There will be an opening reception preceeding the event from 5:30-6:00 p.m. All are welcome. For questions, please contact edith.auner@tufts.edu.
