World War One is often, and rightly, seen as the schism that shattered the old world order - the class systems, international balances of power, the domestic balance between men and women. What is less discussed, however, is the way that many of these seismic changes were expressed by and affected music. Composers found their whole world-view, the core of what drove them to write, shattered and reshaped. And their audiences found new resonances in their music. Because music at that time wasn't just music - it was a way of making sense of a chaotic world. A century on, Leon Botstein and the American Symphony Orchestra present a fascinating, powerful look at that period in 'Forged From Fire' at Carnegie Hall tonight, May 30 at 8pm.
