POTSDAM -- The Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam will host a symposium on composer and teacher Nadia Boulanger April 22-23.

A distinguished composer and frequent Crane visitor, Boulanger’s music has remained largely unperformed until now. This symposium will feature lectures, classes, concerts, and films all related to the life and works of Boulanger.

Guest appearances will be made by Professor Jeanice Brooks, who teaches at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom and is author of the book, The Musical Work of Nadia Boulanger: Performing Past and Future Between the Wars (2013); and Kimberly Francis, who teaches at the University of Guelph in Ontario, and is author of the book Teaching Stravinsky: Nadia Boulanger and the Consecration of a Modernist Icon.

At 2 p.m. there will be showing of the film Mademoiselle by Bruno Monsaingeon. In conjunction with this film, there will be a performance of Boulanger’s Lux Aeterna and Pie Jesu by a small ensemble as part of a recreation of the memorial service for Lilli Boulanger, Nadia’s younger sister.

There will be music, presentations and more.
