- Summary:
- Nadia Boulanger (1887-1979) was among the most iconic figures in twentieth-century music. Composer, performer, conductor, impresario, and pedagogue, she disseminated her ideas in a variety of media from composition lessons and lectures to radio broadcasts, recordings and concert performances. Boulanger's world was made up of many different and overlapping "worlds" that embraced both physical places and conceptual domains, ranging from national and global geopolitics to philosophy, aesthetics, and areas of musical activity such as composition, performance, analysis, and pedagogy. In 'Nadia Boulanger and Her World', contributors map Boulanger's movement in one or more of these terrains, charting the geographies of transatlantic and international exchange and disruption within which her career unfolded.
