When Music and Politics Meet: with Jonathan Rosenberg

Is Russian music “canceled?” What sort of responsibility do musicians have to make their political and moral views known? What relationship do music and politics have with one another? Can they truly be separated? In this episode, Christine speaks about this timely topic with Jonathan Rosenberg, Julliard-trained musician and Harvard-trained historian. Using lessons learned while researching his book, "Dangerous Melodies: Classical Music in America from the Great War through the Cold War," Jonathan explains how learning from the past can greatly inform our present, and help us shape the future we would like to see.
