HON 277 / MUH 277 Music and the Environment
Steven Pane, Professor of Music
Global Fusion Week: March 16-23, 2024
This course explores the intersection of music and the environment, examining works inspired by nature and compositions addressing environmental issues, including climate change. It surveys diverse musical styles across different historical periods. Notably, students will collaborate on a Music and the Environment project with visiting students and faculty from music conservatories in Venice and Pescara, Italy.
Italian students and professors from music conservatories in Venice and Pescara, Italy collaborated with UMF students virtually before visiting the UMF campus for a week to complete a project. In addition, UMF students attended concerts and musical performances by other UMF students and the Farmington community, such as Duo Franchini.
