The Performing Arts and War
The representation of war in music and theatre has had enduring resonance. Music has been used to stir the blood of combatants and inspire great courage, and also to offer consolation to the bereaved. Theatrical representations of war give meaning to the conflict and recreate the intensity of conflict. Our experts will discuss the affecting qualities of the performing arts and the way in which they convey the meaning of war.
On this evening, you are invited to a viewing of 'Pack up your troubles: Music and the Great War'. The Grainger Museum will offer extended opening hours from 4.30pm - 6pm on Thursday 27 August to allow guests special access to the exhibition prior to the panel discussion at 6.30pm in the Auditorium, Kenneth Myer Building, Royal Parade.
Pack up your troubles: Music in the Great War is showing at the Grainger Museum until December 2015.
This event is part of the University of Melbourne ANZAC Centenary Lectures.
