:)"What I really want from Music: That it be cheerful and profound like an afternoon in October.”
You’re invited to a musical salon centered on Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 8 (“the Apocalyptic”), hosted at Asylum Ventures in Williamsburg.
Bruckner’s symphonies are a monument to the spirit of transcendent ambition and a meditation on the nature of its true, immanent pursuit.
We’ll begin by listening to selected passages from the Eighth. Then Clemens Oellinger (Cambridge philosopher, former Vienna Choir boy) will kick off the conversation by connecting Bruckner to Nietzsche and Wagner, the Bayreuth festival, and explain why it's so relevant today.
You don’t need to love or even know classical music, for this to be a worthwhile evening.
It’ll be about 25 people - a thoughtful mix of founders, cultural people, artists, and musicians.
This is part of a larger effort we’ve been building (usually in LA): small salons around the classical liberal arts, including music, literature, and philosophy that shaped the West and can inspire a direction forward.
