Description
Includes descriptive metadata provided by producer in MP4 file: "Thinking Out of the Lunch Box - Video - Jonathan Neufeld: 'Democratic Virtuosity: Music and the Public Sphere.'" By Vanderbilt University. Jonathan Neufeld, assistant professor of philosophy, speaks at the Nashville Public Library's Main Library on May 6, 2009, as part of the Thinking Out of the Lunch Box series co-sponsored by Vanderbilt and the public library. Neufeld discusses Daniel Barenboim's unannounced conducting of a Richard Wagner piece at a concert in Israel, defying an unofficial ban against the performance of works by Wagner. He also talks about how composer Gabriela Lena Frank expresses traditional Peruvian music through European forms and instruments. He illustrates his lecture by playing musical selections, and he takes questions at the end. Professor of philosophy David Wood introduces Neufeld.
