School of Music faculty member Herman Hudde’s research was recently featured in an online exhibit for Tanglewood, the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The exhibit is based on his research titled, “Negotiating Politics and Aesthetics: The Untold History of Latin American Modern Art Music in the Berkshire Music Center at Tanglewood (1940-51).”
His research explores the history of music festivals and organizations and how they became places for composers to construct identity, negotiate aesthetics, promote cultural exchange and exercise agency on the American continent. His dissertation also examines musical individuals and groups who fostered a creative modern music scene in Latin America during the first half-century.
