| | Music and Metropolis: Recontextualizing Krenek and Weill, London, November 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | Conceived in part as a commemoration, in part as a means of drawing musicological attention to the significance of the modern urban landscape in shaping the production and reception of 20th century musical modernism, this one-day conference will explore music theatre works of both composers from the 1920s to the mid 1930s. |
 | | Just as Lang’s iconic film Metropolis (1926) is a futuristic vision set around the year 2000, the conference will, furthermore, consider whether any significant conclusions can be drawn from revisiting the music and ideas of Krenek and Weill for our own times. |
