Talk II: Folk influences in classical music

This is part of the Berwick Music Series 2023; you can find the full programme and buy a Series Pass by clicking here.

Folk music has had an influence on ‘classical’ composers, from Hildegard von Bingen to composers of the present day. This talk will provide an historical whistle-stop tour, before focusing in greater depth on specific composers and works, including Schubert, Bartok and Dvorak, whose String Quartet, Op. 96 (American) will be performed at a later concert in the series.
