1 October 2012:  Antoni Pizà, director of the Foundation for Iberian Music will be a guest lecturer for a class in the Spanish and Portuguese Department of New York University “Barcelona: Images of a Modern (Mediterranean) Metropolis,” taught by Professor Jordana Mendelson. The course examines the city’s contemporary status as a modern metropolis through issues of Catalan identity, literature, film, music, and other arts. Professor Pizà will discuss Schoenberg’s stay in Barcelona and the compositions he wrote there. Some of the artistic outgrowths from this sojourn include Juan Eduardo Cirlot’s poetry and music, the movement Dau al Set, Club 49, the Generation of 1951, and jazz culture in postwar Barcelona.
