This series, produced by piano professor Robin McCabe, features music composed during or about World War I, with historical context offered in commentary and narration.
 This concert features a pre-concert lecture by Steven Morrison, associate professor of Music Education.

Pre-Concert lecture: 'Music to my ears'
Steven Morrison, associate professor of Music Education at the UW, posits that the rise of recorded music in the early 20th century resulted in a dissociation of musical sound and action not previously known in a world that had experienced music exclusively in live performance settings. Professor Morrison also addresses the increased attention paid to the perceptual aspects of music in the surge of psychometric testing occurring during the era of the Great War.

Pre-Concert Lecture: 4 p.m.
Concert: 4:30 p.m.

Tickets $10 (cash or check at the door). Paid admission to the 4 p.m. lecture includes admission to the 4:30 p.m. concert.
