Carleton Breakfast Club with Professor David Tompkins
"The Sound of Stalinist Music"

Thursday, September 11, 7:30 a.m.
Perkins Restaurant, 4201 W. 78th Street, Bloomington, MN

What did the communist music of the early Cold War sound like? At this intensely political moment, music was deployed to help build the socialist society in the Soviet bloc. Join us at this month's Carleton Breakfast Club as Associate Professor of History and Director of European Studies David Tompkins looks at the cases of East Germany and Poland, and discusses how music and composers were mobilized for political ends.
