CANCELED Pre-Concert Lecture with Destinee Siebe

This season, Lakeside Chautauqua is collaborating with the Conservatory of Music of Baldwin Wallace University to provide lectures prior to select Lakeside Symphony Orchestra concerts. These talks prepare listeners to more fully understand and enjoy the evening’s symphony concert. Join us at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 2 in the Fountain Inn Aigler Room for a Pre-Concert Lecture led by Destinee Siebe.

“The First World War through Classical Music”
The musical selections by George Butterworth, Sergei Prokofiev and Jean Sibelius featured on this evening’s Lakeside Symphony Orchestra concert were all composed within a decade of one another, surrounding the time period of World War I. Join presenter Destinee Siebe as she traces the musical ties to the Great War and other political events of the early 20th century, prompting a broader conversation on how art reflects and responds to the world of the artist.

Siebe is a musicologist, bassoonist and arts administrator originally from Louisville, K.Y. She holds two degrees in Musicology: a Master of Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Bachelor of Music from Baldwin Wallace University.

Her research interests are primarily focused on the 20th-21st century United States. In addition to Lakeside, she has given talks and interviews with the Canton Symphony Orchestra, the podcast Orchestrating Change, and Cleveland’s Local 4 Music Fund.

Siebe studied bassoon and contrabassoon with Jonathan Sherwin of the Cleveland Orchestra. She performs with the Cleveland Winds and freelances throughout the area.

Since November 2021, she has served as the Concert Production & Events Coordinator at Baldwin Wallace Conservatory of Music. In this role, she facilitates over 300 performances per academic year, maintains the Fine Instrument collection, and supervises student employees in the Conservatory.
