This Thursday: Steve Swayne Tells the Story of Three Composers Through Three Objects
In a world where everything is going digital, what can physical artifacts in physical spaces tell us that digital replicas cannot?
Join the John W. Kluge Center and Kluge Chair in Modern Culture Steve Swayne for an event looking at three composers – David Diamond, Steven Sondheim, and Robert Schumann – through the lens of three objects found in the collections of the Library of Congress.
This event will take place on Thursday, June 9, at 4pm, in room LJ-119 of the Library of Congress Thomas Jefferson Building. You can also watch virtually.
An edited video recording of the event will be available at youtube.com/loc about two weeks after the event.
