A Fusion of Senses: Poetry, Music, Dance and Visual Arts in Paris (1880-1914)
Co-presented with the UCLA Department of French and Francophone Studies and the UCLA Department of Music
Organized by Sonnets & Sonatas, a UCLA series of lectures, this evening of readings, screenings, and musical performances is meant to evoke a period of time when artists, musicians, and poets were merging different art forms. This program includes the works of Debussy, Saint-Saëns, Satie, and Boulanger; popular waltzes by Chaminade or Jaëll; and songs of Paris cabarets of the Belle Époque. Lecture by Laure Murat, professor in the UCLA Department of French and Francophone Studies. Musical direction by Guillaume Sutre, professor of violin and head of chamber music in the UCLA Department of Music.
In conjunction with Tea and Morphine: Women in Paris, 1880 to 1914.
