And how did such composers transform musical language in order to musically replicate artistic styles? Come enjoy a two-part lecture series as Cimarusti explores the works of artists and composers associated with Romanticism and Expressionism. These discussions will focus on how composers constructed new musical means in order to musically paint a particular artistic style.
