Music and Gardens
Manage episode 444799728 series 3482798
In this episode, we take a stroll with IMV postdoctoral fellow Sadie Menicanin through Oslo’s Botaniske hage. As we walk along gravel paths and under shady boughs, we discuss Sadie’s recent and current research related to music and gardens. The conversation touches on garden scenes in French grand opera, Vienna’s municipal planning of green space in the later 19th century, erotically charged greenhouses, imperial botanical gardens, outdoor concerts, songs for hiking, class-coded noise complaints in public green spaces, and more.
Together with her colleague Cana McGhee, Sadie is hosting a symposium on 28-29 October at IMV called “grounded,” which will delve into themes of soil, waste, and decomposition, and will explore music’s many connections to such material and political environmental matters.
