Back	At the Ottoman Bank Museum: Faust in Music The Ottoman Bank Museum is adding a new series, this season, to its Voyvoda Streeet Lectures program. "Music and Literature" will explore the interrelationship of music and literature. In the first talk of the series, İlke Boran discusses how the Faust theme in Goethe's masterwork was reflected in 19th century music, especially in the compositions of Berlioz and Lizst. The lecture, which is scheduled for Wednesday, October 19 at 6:30 p.m., will be free of charge. Ever since the Middle Ages, the myth of Faust had fascinated European thought. At first transmitted orally, the story was later put to paper, reaching a dramatic and literary peak with Goethe. Goethe's Faust was written in two parts and the first became a great source of inspiration to 19th century artists. In his lecture, İlke Boran will discuss why 19th century musicians, in particular, were irresistibly drawn to this theme. Born in Rome, in 1972, İlke Boran is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in musicology at the State Conservatory of Mimar Sinan University. Since 1998, he has also been teaching music history at the same university. The Museum offers a complete program of lectures, presented every Wednesday, under the general heading Voyvoda Street Lectures. This season's themes are - music and literature, objects and rituals, economic history, and Istanbul. A continuing series, the Making of Modern Turkey Seminars, are held on the third Saturday of each month.
