The Future Thinker: Wagner — Komitas

What do we mean by “nation,” “myth,” “national school of composition,” or “comprehensive work of art”? What is the connection between Richard Wagner and Komitas Vardapet? This lecture explores the historical prerequisites and trends of the 19th and 20th centuries and how they resonated within the creative spheres of both composers. Speaker: Sahak Galoyan The talk will conclude with a performance by the Geghard Choir (Artistic Director: Mher Navoyan, Conductor: Anahit Papayan). Free admission.
