The concert has long been one of the principal forums for the performance and consumption of Western music, its continuities disrupted and subsequently adapted with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. Despite the undeniable importance of live performance to both musicians and audiences, scholars have only relatively recently begun critical study of the concert as a musical, social, and cultural phenomenon. This class will consider the concert through case-studies of concerts in Europe and North America from the 18th century to the COVID era, with special reference to primary sources, interpretative techniques, and work in the Digital Humanities. Some sessions will be devoted to events at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, providing students with an opportunity to engage with the collaborative Digital Humanities research project, The Internet of Musical Events (https://intermuse.datatodata.org/), shared between the University of Illinois and the University of York in the UK. Topics for discussion will include repertoire and programming; canon formation and disruption; community building; economics and arts management; performers and their drawing power; intersections with technology; rituals and etiquette; and modes of listening. Attendance at a KCPA concert will be required (tickets provided by KCPA). Assigned work will include short papers or reports, in-class discussion, short individual and/or collaborative presentations, and a final research project on an approved topic. Restriction(s): Restricted to students with Graduate class standing. Restricted to students in the Music department.
