Our City. Our Music. Our Writers., Featuring Daniel Boomhower and Carol Oja
12/10/2024 to 12/10/2024
921 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE Washington, DC 20003 , washington, DC 20003The December 10 session of this series presents two outstanding speakers who will discuss their path-breaking scholarship on the performance history of classical music in Washington, DC. Daniel Boomhower, Research Director at Dumbarton Oaks, will outline Musical Capital: Sound and Power in Washington, D.C., the forthcoming book he co-edited, and describe the seminal role played by his and other exclusive DC institutions in presenting classical music from the 1930s on. An important part of this history is how presenters of classical music concerts often limited access to their venues, based on race, class, and social status. Carol Oja, Professor of Music and American Studies at Harvard University and current Fellow at Dumbarton Oaks, presents her research on Jim Crow policies of Washington DC’s concert venues, culminating in contralto Marian Anderson’s landmark 1939 performance. Her next book is provisionally titled Civil Rights in the Concert Hall: Marian Anderson and the Struggle Against Racial Segregation in Classical Music Performance. https://www.hillcenterdc.org/event/our-city-our-music-our-writers-featuring-daniel-boomhower-and-carol-oja/
