Sturm und Ruhe: The concurrent evolution of German Music and Literature
An interactive exploration with Dr. Anjan Ray co-hosted by The Poona Music Society and Department of Foreign Languages, Savitribai Phule Pune University
German language, literature, philosophy and culture are inextricably linked with Western classical music, especially from the mid-18th to the mid-20th century before popular recorded music became widely available and affordable. Join us for an interactive exploration of this evolution with students and faculty of German literature at Savitribai Phule University in association with The Poona Music Society. Anjan Ray, a multidisciplinary professional and former radio anchor, will moderate the session.
Dr. Anjan Ray, who is formally trained as a scientist, has had an association of nearly four decades with media and music. He has been a music compère at All India Radio Delhi and Mumbai, module coordinator and faculty for broadcast journalism at Xavier Institute of Communications Mumbai, and has conducted workshops on classical music awareness and history since the early 1990s. Currently, he hosts a weekly music podcast, ‘Saturday Sundowner Symphony.’
