Lecture by Neil Gregor: The Symphony Concert in Nazi Germany - IN PERSON

Stanley Burton Centre for Holocaust and Genocide Studies

Join us for an evening talk and reception with Neil Gregor on 'Writing Cultural Histories of Nazi Germany: Thoughts from the Concert Hall'

Attenborough Building Room 101

The Stanley Burton Centre for Holocaust and Genocide Studies and the Centre for Regional and Local History at the University of Leicester warmly invite you to join us for an evening lecture by Professor Neil Gregor (University of Southampton) followed by a reception. The talk will focus on "Writing Cultural Histories of Nazi Germany: Thoughts from the Concert Hall"Neil Gregor will discuss what a study of orchestras and their audiences can tell us about the social and cultural history of Nazi Germany more generally. It brings the regime's attempts to engineer a new 'listening community' in the concert hall from 1933 onwards into dialogue with wider questions surrounding the transformation - or not - of German subjectivities during the Nazi era. Dispensing with belletristic conceits regarding the concert hall as a space of political and emotional retreat, it explores how the mobilization of German society behind the politics of the regime was pursued in the domain of classical music.This event is free and open to the public, and a reception will be held after the talk.
