All Saints Anglican Church in Ivy is hosting a four-month Arts and Culture series, ranging from panel discussions to multimedia presentations. Come out for engaging lectures, lively discussion, and refreshments every third Sunday of the month from January to April.
On Sunday, April 17 at 5:30 PM, All Saints will host the fourth of this series, “How Might Music Mean? Listening to Sound, Structure, Community, and History,” with guest speaker Ken Myers.
Myers, former arts editor for NPR and founder of Mars Hill Audio in Charlottesville, will speak on meaning in music. While it is often treated merely as a mood-altering mechanism (whether a sedative or a stimulant), music has the capacity to convey deeper resonances with human experience in the world—joy, longing, melancholy, anticipation, grief, and much more.
Myers will argue that—as with poetry or the visual arts—the perception of musical meaning requires more attentiveness than we often give to music, attentiveness which allows for the formulation of a musical syntax and vocabulary that enriches and defines experience, and which renders our deepest sentiments communicable to others.
All Saints is located at 3889 Ivy Road, Charlottesville, VA 22903. For more information, call 434-987-3562. Free Child Care will be provided. There will be wine and refreshments after the lecture.
