Sounds of Triumph & Turmoil: The Music of War
Admission
Overview
Music is a powerful lens through which we can understand the cultural impact of war on a society. Songs can rally the troops, celebrate the importance of patriotism, reflect the melding of love and loss, or become an anthem of dissent. Music serves as a historical document that captures the emotions, attitudes, and perspectives of a society during wartime. It communicates ideas and sentiments widely and has the power to unify, inspire, and provoke change.
From the trenches of World War I to the battlefields of the 21st century, we explore the evolution of musical expression in the face of war. We pay tribute to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of music. Join us this summer as we explore the Music of war — the Sounds of Triumph and Turmoil.
