Borderlands of Sonic Encounter
Please join us for a discussion with Philip Bohlman, Ludwig Rosenberger Distinguished Service Professor in Jewish History, Music, and the Humanities in the College; associate faculty in the Divinity School. Professor Bohlman is the recipient of a 2022 Balzan Prize, an international award that promotes culture, science, and humanitarian initiatives. Prize winners receive CHF 750,000 (Swiss francs), or $950,000, with half the money required to be invested in research projects by young scholars.
Bohlman, who won the Balzan Prize for his work in ethnomusicology, will share various cross-border and cross-cultural music projects that the prize has supported over the past three years of his five-year award. In addition, Women’s Board grant recipients, such as the award-winning student acappella group, The Ransom Notes, will attend the event.
