Part of the Humanities Cultural Programme, one of the founding stones for the future Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities.
Thursday 7th May marks the 180th anniversary of the birth of Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky, Russia's most famous nineteenth-century composer, and one of the most popular classical composers of all time. Together, Leah Broad and Philip Ross Bullock will trace how Tchaikovsky became such a revered figure, ask what it means to talk about nationalism in music, and explore the challenges of writing musical biography.
