Entertainment

Celebrate the release of Audible Loss: New Music and the Crisis of Memory by Andrea Zarafshon Moore, Assistant Professor of Music at Smith College. Moore analyzes a range of musical works written to commemorate late 20th and early 21st century crises in the U.S—the AIDS crisis, 9/11, and anti-Black violence—and explores how contemporary classical music frames and narrates crises, gives voice to grief, and seeks to make loss audible.  This program includes a conversation between Moore and Lisa Armstrong, Professor of the Study of Women & Gender. Sponsored by the Smith Office for the Arts, the Department of Music and the Study of Women & Gender. Free and open to the public.
