Nicholas McGegan Explores Music and Art During the 17th-Century Plague

“The parallels between the plagues of the 17th century and our present pandemic are uncomfortably close,” says Nicholas McGegan, preparing to give an illustrated lecture about the subject.

As the guest of the Yale Center for British Studies, McGegan presents “A Theater of Tragedies: The Plague in 17th-Century England” on Oct. 14, beginning at 2 p.m. PDT. The digital lecture will stream for free, with the performance supported by the Terry F. Green 1969 Fund for British Art and Culture.
