Aeneid: Proem and Vulcan’s Reply
February 24, 2022, 6 pm, Brendle Hall
On February 24, the Secrest Artists Series will host Dawn Upshaw and the Brentano String Quartet for a night of compositions inspired by Dido, the mythic queen of Carthage and key figure in Vergil’s Aeneid, the most world-influential Roman poem.
The Department of Classics is collaborating with Secrest to stage a free pre-concert event consisting of readings from Vergil’s poem — including some excerpts in a translation by Wake Forest poet & classicists Allen Mandelbaum — and performances of two compositions by Professor T. H. M. Gellar-Goad that set texts from Aeneid.
