Conversation: Emotion in classical music

The historian Claudio Rolle, the pianist Liza Chung and the violinist Gonzalo Beltrán participate.

The UC Music Institute has scheduled a discussion for this Sunday, May 29, on Heritage Day. It will seek to answer, from personal experience, a question that we have all asked ourselves over and over again: what role does emotion play in music?

This issue will extend to various considerations. Do the performers think about what emotions the composers wanted to convey or arouse? Do the musicians feel the same on stage that we feel from the public? As listeners, are we especially moved by the expressiveness in all the repertoires?

Claudio Rolle, director of the UC Institute of History and member of the Radio Beethoven board of directors, will participate, along with the pianist Liza Chung and the violinist Gonzalo Beltrán, both academics from the UC Institute of Music.

Each of the guests will speak from their personal experience, either as an amateur or as a professional of written tradition music.

At 12 noon on Sunday, with an in-person audience, at the Oriente Campus (Jaime Guzmán 3300), and with a streaming broadcast on Musica.uc.cl.

Registrations to attend in person are made here.
