Symposium and Performance
HEROES LEAVE THEIR SHORES:
EXILE, LOSS, AND THE DYNAMICS
OF ARTISTIC CREATION
Saturday, December 8, 2001
9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
Museum Lecture Hall
"Heroes Leave Their Shores," a collaborative conference
that includes paper sessions, performances, and several related
public events, examines various aspects of exile as a creative,
social, and psychological phenomenon. It brings together scholars,
artists, and musicians to consider the friendship between Arnold
Schoenberg and Wassily Kandinsky, the fate of Theodor Adorno and
other European intellectuals in exile during World War II, and the
more contemporary experiences of alienation felt by artists in their
own countries and its effect on their work. The conference will
feature a performance-lecture by Charles Rosen, distinguished pianist,
writer, and scholar.

(Please note that the opening sessions of the symposium will take
place at UCLA on Friday, December 7. For information and registration,
