- DescriptionOrganist Jonathan Moyer, last on the 2016 Presenting Series, returns for an awe-inspiring performance that blends virtuosity with profound musical insight. His program, The Life and Works of Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562–1621), is composed entirely of compositions by the great Dutch master. The program will offer Sweelinck's vast and diverse keyboard compositions as a biographical window into the fascinating world of sixteenth-century Amsterdam.Moyer's recital is a sonic experience that fills the hall with everything from fanfare to full swell, all the Fritts Organ's voices sounding with grandeur and emotion. Our longtime organ enthusiasts demand these recitals, and growing numbers want to explore one of music's most commanding forms. This hour-long concert in the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center provides respite and inspiration in an afternoon interlude.

About the Series The film series Voicing Intergenerational Trauma in Postwar Korea and Japan through Contemporary Cinema explores how trauma is experienced intergenerationally in the family within the context of East Asia. Research demonstrates that trauma has lasting effects that reverberate beyond the victims who directly experience it (Cai and Lee 2022; Cho 2006). Families are the primary site where trauma is experienced and transferred across generations. This series sheds light on how these dynamics play out through a gendered lens within the context of East Asia, which has been profoundly shaped by ethnocentric violence during the Japanese imperial period and World War II, as well as social and economic upheaval following the outbreak of civil wars and the spread of Cold War politics in the 20th century. The series is sponsored by the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies, DeBartolo Performing Arts Center, and Hesburgh Libraries with support from the Franco Family Institute for Liberal Arts and the Public Good, College of Arts & Letters.
