This new volume of work celebrates a milestone - a decade has passed since the founding of the Bard Conservatory in 2005, and marks the importance of Bard as the only conservatory requiring completion of a B.A. degree in a field other than music simultaneous with the awarding of the Bachelor of Music degree.
Our experience with that requirement, along with other innovations, invites reflection and evaluation. Why should young musicians have a broad, liberal arts education? Will it improve them as musicians? Will they have enough time to practice? What does the Bard experience mean for the future?
In Part I, The Bard Conservatory, essays by founding director
Robert Martin; soprano Dawn Upshaw ,founding artistic director of our Graduate Vocal Arts Program; cellist Rylan Gajek-Leonard '16 , and pianist Allegra Chapman '10 , a member of our first graduating class, provide a vivid sense of life in the Conservatory.
Part II, The Place of Music, explores a fundamental part of the ideology of the Bard Conservatory, the belief that music is deeply and strongly connected with broader issues of history, literature, science, architecture, social justice, philosophy, film, and politics - in a series of essays by writer Andre Aciman ; artist R.O. Blechman ; architect Deborah Berke ; poet Robert Kelly; and ot her friends and colleagues.
