Hearing Wagner
How do we really experience Wagner’s music?
Psychology and digital technology are being combined to understand music in new ways. A group of students in the audience for Wagner’s epic Ring Cycle, conducted by Valery Gergiev (Birmingham Hippodrome, 5-9 November 2014) are taking part in an intriguing experiment to monitor the sensations produced over the 16-hour cycle of four operas.
On 22 November, as part of the Being Human Festival, researchers from the ‘Transforming Musicology’ project will be talking about this work and what it can tell us about Wagner’s music.
Join us at the Birmingham Hippodrome to find out how the Wagner experiments went and try for yourself some of the digital tools the musicologists are using.
