Adult Chamber Players Lecture Series: David Sorensen

Adult Chamber Players Lecture Series: David Sorensen

Presented by Settlement Music School at Settlement Music School - Mary Louise Curtis Branch

November 4, 2009

The Adult Chamber Players Lecture Series regularly features acclaimed professionals from all walks of life whose connection to music has had an impact on their chosen careers. David Sorensen, Professor of English and Associate Director of the Honors Program at Saint Joseph's University, presents a discussion of Thomas Carlyle, one of history’s most famous satirical writers, essayists, historians and teachers during the Victorian era. In his extraordinary history of the French Revolution, Carlyle drew on operatic themes and motifs in his re-creation of the event. He conceived the Revolution as a spontaneous 'cry of the heart,' in which the French masses gave voice to the harmony and dissonance that were part of their nature.
