Event description:
Sir Jonathan Mills, Trumbull Fellow, presents a series of three public lectures that will collectively address issues related to “The Role of Culture in the Contemporary World.”
“Music and the Sacred Dimensions of Time”
Drawing on sacred and secular musical examples from Josquin, Beethoven, Messiaen, and Boulez, the writings of philosopher Henri Bergson, and the poetry of T.S. Eliot, composer Jonathan Mills argues that music has a unique capacity to enable us to experience time as a heightened and emotional phenomenon — and, further, that it may itself become timeless.
Reception to follow at Miller Hall - 406 Prospect Street
