- Dr. John A. Rice delivers a lecture titled, "Music and the Grand Tour in the 18th Century" at the Michigan State University Main Library. Using musical excerpts, Rice describes a relatively peaceful Europe after 1715 and the upper middle class phenomenon of touring for art, music and culture. He explains that touring musicians, exposed to a wide variety of compositions, theater, opera, and carnivals, brought a tremendous diversity of music back to their respective countries thus dramatically diversifying the landscape of music and culture throughout Europe. Dr. Rice speaks as part of the 2013 Hollander Distinguished Lecture series in Musicology. He is introduced by MSU Professor Marcie Ray. The event is convened by MSU Professor Michael Largey.
