To mark the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I, University of Washington professor Robin McCabe planned a series she calls “Music from the War to End All Wars.”

Artistic Crisis and the Coming of the First World War.”
Stacey is a professor of history and UW’s Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. UW School of Music students perform a program that includes period pieces composed by Debussy, De Falla and Bartók. Their combined approach, inspired by music and art, serves as a poignant reflection on to the tragic history of the so-called Great War.
The University of Washington presented this talk and concert at The Brechemin Auditorium on Sunday, December 7, 2014. Thanks to Gary Louie for this recording.
