(View link:) "What Constitutes Core in the Conservatory Curriculum?"  This roundtable discussion questioned the assumption that a chronological study of canonic composers, works, and style should be positioned as “core” in a school of music curriculum. What if, instead of retelling—or at best problematizing, complicating, and deconstructing—the established narratives of Western classical music, we started from a different premise entirely?

Four panelists, including Haefeli, described different approaches to curriculum change at their respective institutions that decenter the canon.

Register for this one-credit seminar (IISP 10115). Eligible for one of three free winter credits. Class Sessions : January 4th ~ 22nd / MWF 11:30-12:50 (ET).
