In all the annals of Western music, there has never been a couple like the Schumanns: he a pioneering critic and composer (the only ever to achieve greatness as both), she one of the leading concert pianists of Europe, as well as a composer of no small talent herself. This series of eight lectures by an award-winning composer and acclaimed teacher includes excerpts of works by both of the Schumanns as part of an introduction to an extraordinary couple and the musical legacy left to us in spite of the difficulties that dogged their marriage.

Even from the perspective of time, it is nearly impossible to grasp the full contribution made to music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in his brief and glorious life. He composed his first symphony at the age of 8 and reached full artistic maturity by the time he was only 20. And when he died at the age of 35, he left a legacy of more than 600 works of brilliance - symphonies, chamber music, operas, and more - most composed during an incredibly productive 20-year period.

The concerto offers a kind of unique excitement no other instrumental music can match. Where a symphony enthralls us with its thematic variations and development, a concerto gives us human drama-the exhilaration of a soloist or group of soloists ringing forth against the mass of the orchestra.In 24 musically rich lectures, Professor Greenberg provides a guided tour of the concerto, from its conception as a child of Renaissance ideals, through its maturation in the Classical age, its metamorphosis in the Romantic era, and its radical transformation in the 20th century and beyond.

La renommée de Le Corbusier est telle que son seul nom symbolise une sorte de renaissance architecturale liée à la reconstruction du pays suite à la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Créateur d'une écriture nouvelle de la construction de l'espace, sa réflexion s'inscrit dans un début de XXe siècle riche en remise en cause des académismes artistiques hérités du passé.

La confraternité intellectuelle qui unit depuis de nombreuses années le philosophe Michel Onfray - théoricien de l'hédonisme et auteur de la Contre-histoire de la philosophie - au peintre Robert Combas - figure majeure de la Figuration libre en France -, est au principe de la conférence proposée aujourd'hui par les Éditions et la Galerie Frémeaux & Associés. Le philosophe y trace le portrait du peintre en "chamane", en "sismographe du monde", véhicule de l'esprit de son temps, et nous livre une analyse fouillée des éléments formels qui constitue l'œuvre de l'artiste.

Ce coffret, éditorialisé par Colette Dumur, nous fait découvrir une autre facette de son frère, celle d'un formidable tribun qui tour à tour nous projette dans l'aventure palpitante du renouveau du théâtre mis en œuvre par Jean Vilar puis dans l'explication/admiration du génie de Shakespeare. Au-delà du jugement, de la perception historique, Guy Dumur reste un promoteur du théâtre, l'un des rares intellectuels qui savent démocratiser l'amour de l'art.

Qu'est-ce que l'art ? Comment s'est-il constitué et défini à travers l'histoire ? Quels rapports entretient-il avec la philosophie ?

In this musically rich 24-lecture series, Professor Greenberg guides you in a deep encounter with these majestic works of art, offering you the rare opportunity to grasp the musical riches and spiritual greatness of the quartets in a clear and accessible way.

Anyone who attempts self-expression through art has touched the "secret power of vision" from which all great art flowers. The artist Alex Grey, who has evoked awe, rapture, and controversy over the past 20 years, is our preeminent explorer of this deep realm where creativity and divinity merge. In The Visionary Artist, Grey's first work in audio, he personally guides us to these mystical places through a full curriculum of intensive, mind-expanding visualizations.

It's easy to feel insecure around art and its appreciation, as though we cannot enjoy certain artworks if we don't have a lot of academic and historical knowledge. But if there's one message that I want you to take away it's that anybody can enjoy art and anybody can have a life in the arts - even me! For even I, an Essex transvestite potter, have been let in by the artworld mafia.

This lecture series focuses on the very best of Western music, and as we progress through these lectures, the following are two important questions that we will seek to answer as we examine the various musical selections: What makes these works masterpieces? Why highlight these works?

Common perceptions of Ancient Rome are plentiful, whether they take the form of crazy emperors hosting lavish feasts, scenes of chariot races and gladiatorial combat, or processions of conquering armies. But that is only half the story.

This course is not designed as a chronological survey of musical history and its many stylistic periods or moments, nor an exploration of the lives and output of individual composers. Instead, these lectures focus on the development of listening skills. Through this course you will develop new levels of aural awareness that will allow you to better appreciate the richness, complexity, and excitement at the heart of all great concert music.
