KEELE MUSIC FORUM
BARBARA KELLY
(ROYAL NORTHERN COLLEGE OF MUSIC)
Wednesday 28 February 2018 | 1:15-2:20pm
CLOCK HOUSE LECTURE ROOM
PERFORMANCE AS ACTION, DEBATE
AND POLICY: PARISIAN AVANT-GARDE
CONCERTS IN WAR AND PEACE
(1916-1926)
This forum event focuses on private and elite performances
of contemporary music in Paris during the First World War
and in the interwar period. Professor Kelly looks at wartime
initiatives to promote music as a form of artistic action, in
particular, the private Lyre et Palette concerts at the studio
of the artist Emile Lejeune, and the concerts the singer
Jane Bathori organized at the Théâtre du Vieux Colombier
when Paris was under bombardment. Here, contemporary
and early music was often placed alongside art, sculpture,
poetry and lectures. The desire to promote contemporary
French music continued into the postwar years. Kelly
looks at Henry Prunières’ concerts of La Revue musicale,
which supported his efforts to promote internationalisation
through music in the interwar period. The cases discussed
show that embodied performance, which was aimed
primarily at private or elite audiences, could engage
with much larger political debates and initiatives.
