Event details
The music department is delighted to welcome music journalist Kate Molleson for an online session in our First Edition series.
Event details
Matthew Shlomowitz will interview Kate Molleson about her book Sound Within Sound, published by Faber in July 2022. This radical new book fundamentally changes the way we think about global classical music and the musicians who made it during the twentieth century.
