Music & Art: Sounding Presence - John Blanke & The Power of Music
Join us for the second in a series of lectures exploring the relationship between music and art.
In this lecture we will explore the life of John Blanke, the Black trumpeter at the Tudor court, and how music gave him status, visibility, and voice. Through the John Blanke Project, speaker Michael Ohajuru will show how art and imagination brings the past to life—revealing a long, rich history of Black presence woven into the fabric of British cultural life.
In-person tickets to this event include entry to the Museum.
