Join us to meet Prof. Anthony R. DelDonna, author of Instrumental Music in Late Eighteenth-Century Naples: Politics, Patronage, and Artistic Culture (Cambridge University Press, 2021), in conversation with Prof. Guido Olivieri (University of Texas at Austin) as they discuss the monograph and ongoing research into the instrumental music traditions of Naples. 

In his book, Prof. DelDonna, who is also the Music Program Director at Georgetown University, investigates the wide-ranging role of instrumental genres within late 18th-century Neapolitan culture and introduces readers to this rarely explored sector of local artistic life.
