Everything old and revered today was new at one time, possibly groundbreaking, maybe even revolutionary. The new is all around us ? in art, literature, medicine ? while the past often becomes today?s building blocks. Where music is concerned, the Peabody Institute, at 150 years old this year, is a celebration of the old and the new.
An upcoming “founding concert” is a novel idea on the part of Michael Kannen, Peabody?s chamber music chair. The faculty Chamber Music Group, in a program titled “New Music; Now and Then” will present the “latest” of its time, two works from the year of Peabody?s founding (1857), and the premier of a new piece.
