Music of Memory, Music of Mourning: Gustav Mahler
Room: Frank Holmes Theatre
Music of Memory, Music of Mourning: The Gustav Mahler - Alfred Rosé Collection and Reflections on a Lost World Join Huron University and Western University as we gather to celebrate the Jewish identity, cultural and musical achievements of world-renowned composer/conductor Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) and members of the Rosé family. On Wednesday, October 30th from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m., Hernan Tesler-Mabé (Associate Professor and Coordinator of the Jewish Studies program at Huron University) will speak about the interplay between Gustav Mahler’s world and antisemitism. Director of the Music Library at Western University Brian McMillan will introduce us to the Gustav Mahler - Alfred Rosé Collection, one of the largest surviving bodies of primary source material of Gustav Mahler and his brother-in-law, violinist Arnold Rosé (1863-1946).
