7 pm - Youthful Classical Genius—and Not Just Mozart!
Before becoming compositional masters, they were teenagers. That fact didn’t stop them from proving they had what it took to become musical masterminds. Mozart, Mendelssohn, Bizet and Shostakovich all stood out as teens. With video samples from concertos, symphonies and a string octet, music historian Betsy Schwarm provides insights into how they came to meet their elders on their own ground, showing that there was room in the classical field for a new generation.
8 pm - The Power of Intergenerational Learning
The demographics are clear: There’s a growing generational divide. And the value in bringing generations together to learn and talk is often overlooked, says social worker and PhD candidate Carson De Fries. But, when you combine the wisdom and experience of older adults with young peoples’ innovative perspectives, you create unique conversations and meaningful reflection. Join De Fries as she shares the importance and benefits of intergenerational relationships and the power of intergenerational learning environments.
