| Abstract | Summary of a presentation by Dr. Barbara Lorenzkowski (professor of history at Concordia University in Montreal) titled "Sounds of Ethnicity: Listening to German North America, 1850-1914." Lorenzkowski described the lushness of German music festivals on both sides of the Great Lakes, and also developed a theoretical argument concerning music's role in the creation of social spaces. Large festivals allowed for cultural exchange between German immigrants and Anglo-Saxon audiences because "unlike the German language, the festive tunes were accessible to all." Lorenzkowski also discussed how music festivals helped in the creation of unique ethnic identities for German immigrants in both the United States and Canada. |
