Join us for a conversation at the Gordon Library with WPI Music Professor Lucy Caplan about her new book, Dreaming in Ensemble, published by Harvard University Press (February 2025).
"Lucy Caplan tells the stories of the Black composers, performers, critics, teachers, and students who created this vibrant opera culture, even as they were excluded from the genre’s most prominent institutions. Their movement, which flourished alongside the Harlem Renaissance, redefined opera as a wellspring of aesthetic innovation, sociality, and antiracist activism." (publisher's site)
A new addition to this year's Authors Unbound series, this is an informal event - all are welcome and light refreshments will be served!
