🗓️Mark your calendar for Friday 1 October, for a book talk with Professor Neil Gregor, who will share insights on how the mobilisation of German society behind the politics of the regime was pursued in the domain of classical music. @neilgregor.bsky.social RSVP on Eventbrite tinyurl.com/vjuemc6v

In this discussion, Professor Gregor will reflect on what the study of orchestras and their audiences can tell us about the social and cultural history of Nazi Germany more generally. He will reflect on how the regime's attempts to engineer a new 'listening community' in the concert hall from 1933 onwards into dialogue with wider questions surrounding the transformation - or not - of German subjectivities during the Nazi era. Dispensing with belletristic conceits regarding the concert hall as a space of political and emotional retreat, he will share insights on how the mobilisation of German society behind the politics of the regime was pursued in the domain of classical music.
