Mexican Modernists

UPSTREAMING
This week’s offering from the archives of the Bard Music Festival celebrates the music of two seminal composers from south of the border: Carlos Chávez and Silvestre Revueltas. In times of political uncertainty, they fused the rich indigenous heritage of Mexico with modernist techniques and a political message, creating an art that was national, modern, and universal.
Featuring:
- Music from the 2015 Bard Music Festival “Chávez and His World.”
- Virtual Tour of “Vida Americana: Mexican Muralists Remake American Art, 1925–1945,” with Barbara Haskell, curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
- A tribute to Bard professor and cellist Luis Garcia-Renart.
