Mankind and Music
Why does music exist? What happens to us when we listen to or create music? In the series Mankind and Music we look for the answers together with musicians, listeners, and researchers. The five episodes focus on Western art music – classical music – with various thematic approaches. It’s not a chronological music history; rather we move between different themes and perspectives. We hear the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra in recordings made exclusively for this series. The series is aimed at students (gymnasium, municipal adult education, folk high school, college) and the interested public. Directed by David Tarrodi for Konserthuset Play.
