Associate Professor of Musicology at the Blair School of Music Jim Lovensheimer will present “Why Musicals Matter” on Tuesday, September 6, at Vanderbilt University as part of the 2011-12 Chancellor’s Lecture Series. Lovensheimer will illustrate how we can learn a lot about ourselves as a society by paying attention to the entertainment we choose.

Lovensheimer is the author of South Pacific: Paradise Rewritten (Oxford University Press, 2010), an exhaustive study of the Rodgers and Hammerstein Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning blockbuster that made its Broadway debut in 1949. That work launched Oxford’s new Broadway Legacy Series, for which Lovensheimer will also be contributing a critical study of legendary librettist and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II.

A reception will be held at 4:30pm in the Ingram Hall Lobby at the Blair School of Music. The lecture will follow at 5:30pm in Turner Hall, also located at the school. The event is free and open to the public. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-seated basis. Complimentary self-parking is available in the South Garage, on Children’s Way between 23rd and 24th avenues south.
