Professor Victor Bobetsky to Give a Book Talk at NYU on "We Shall Overcome: Essays on a Great American Song"
Professor Victor Bobetsky, of the Music Department, will discuss his book We Shall Overcome: Essays on a Great American Song on Tuesday, November 7 at the Tamiment Library at NYU. The talk will address the research and academic activities that led to the creation of the book. According to Bobetsky, "six Hunter students from the music education program will join me in this presentation. They will sing excerpts from several of the antecedent songs discussed in my book that may have influenced the music and text of the We Shall Overcome we sing today." A reception with wine and cheese will follow the lecture.
