Tutor: Barbara Levien
Break free from the familiar world of classical music and enter a century where composers shattered tradition and reinvented what music could be. Across eight engaging lessons, this course explores the extraordinary sound world of the 20th century from the shimmering colours of Debussy and the primal energy of Stravinsky to the hypnotic patterns of Reich and the spiritual stillness of Part. Along the way, discover how music responded to modern art, architecture, war, technology, psychology, and changing ideas about humanity itself.
