Ancestral Voices Prophesying: Notes on Britten's War Requiem

Tuesday, October 28, 2025
5–6:30 pm

Olin Auditorium
Bard College presents renowned tenor and musical scholar Ian Bostridge delivering the Anthony Hecht Lectures in the Humanities in honor of preeminent poet, alumnus, and former Bard faculty member Anthony Hecht ’44. In his lecture series, “Ancestral Voices Prophesying: Notes on Britten's War Requiem,” Bostridge—who has performed War Requiem nearly a hundred times since 1994—will examine the layers of meaning and context in the piece, one of the most important works of classical music written after 1945.

The first lecture in the series, “Requiem,” takes place on Monday, October 27 at 5:00 pm, and the second, “Anthem,” will be held on Tuesday, October 28 at 5:00 pm.  A reception precedes both lectures, which will take place in Olin Auditorium on Bard’s Annandale campus. The final lecture in the series, “Akedah,” will be held on Friday, October 31 at 6:00 pm in the Irving Posner and Herman Ackman Space at Kaufman Music Center located at 129 West 67th Street, NYC.Sponsored by: Office of Development and Alumni/ae Affairs.

"Yoko Tawada's Traveling Voices": A Screening and Conversation with Son HyeJeong

Tuesday, October 28, 2025
5 pm

Preston Theater
Tawada Yōko is very well-known in the US, especially thanks to the translation in English of The Emissary, which received in 2018 the National Book Award for Translated Literature. Less renowned are, however, her poetry and performances playing with language, media and voices, which Son has been following around the world for the past ten years. The teaser gives a taste of them, but does not encompass their originality, nor the way they ask their audience to interrogate their sense of identity, and their pre-established conceptions of how cultural and language canons operate. Tawada's work is translingual (shifting between her two main languages, Japanese and German, and an expanding repertoire of others) and interstitial, thriving in the no man's lands between and beyond national borders -- and different forms of media production. Her games with audio and video, word and gesture, human and non-human entities (including, at times, generative AI) all converge towards one goal: to give a voice to what and who is often unvoiced.Sponsored by: BTTI, Experimental Humanities, German, Japanese, L&L, and Literature.

Bard College presents renowned tenor and musical scholar Ian Bostridge delivering the Anthony Hecht Lectures in the Humanities in honor of preeminent poet, alumnus, and former Bard faculty member Anthony Hecht ’44. In his lecture series, “Ancestral Voices Prophesying: Notes on Britten's War Requiem,” Bostridge—who has performed War Requiem nearly a hundred times since 1994—will examine the layers of meaning and context in the piece, one of the most important works of classical music written after 1945.

The first lecture in the series, “Requiem,” takes place on Monday, October 27 at 5:00 pm, and the second, “Anthem,” will be held on Tuesday, October 28 at 5:00 pm.  A reception precedes both lectures, which will take place in Olin Auditorium on Bard’s Annandale campus. The final lecture in the series, “Akedah,” will be held on Friday, October 31 at 6:00 pm in the Irving Posner and Herman Ackman Space at Kaufman Music Center located at 129 West 67th Street, NYC.Sponsored by: Office of Development and Alumni/ae Affairs.

"Yoko Tawada's Traveling Voices": A Screening and Conversation with Son HyeJeong

Tuesday, October 28, 2025
5 pm

Preston Theater
Tawada Yōko is very well-known in the US, especially thanks to the translation in English of The Emissary, which received in 2018 the National Book Award for Translated Literature. Less renowned are, however, her poetry and performances playing with language, media and voices, which Son has been following around the world for the past ten years. The teaser gives a taste of them, but does not encompass their originality, nor the way they ask their audience to interrogate their sense of identity, and their pre-established conceptions of how cultural and language canons operate. Tawada's work is translingual (shifting between her two main languages, Japanese and German, and an expanding repertoire of others) and interstitial, thriving in the no man's lands between and beyond national borders -- and different forms of media production. Her games with audio and video, word and gesture, human and non-human entities (including, at times, generative AI) all converge towards one goal: to give a voice to what and who is often unvoiced.Sponsored by: BTTI, Experimental Humanities, German, Japanese, L&L, and Literature.
