Join Clara Takarabe for their presentation on Abuse, Alienation, and Our Current Condition as Arts & Culture Workers - “The Way It Works”.
Violist Clara Takarabe plays with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In her symphonic career, Clara has performed and toured throughout the United States and around the world under the batons of Riccardo Muti, Pierre Boulez, Daniel Barenboim, Bernard Haitink, Gustavo Dudamel, Zubin Mehta and many others. She has a long recording history in classical, rock, jazz, rhythm and blues, experimental music as well as tv and movie scores.
She studied with Li Kuo Chang, Emanuel Vardi, Shmuel Ashkenasi, Felix Schwartz, Robert Lipsett and Sheryl Staples and trained with the Vermeer Quartet.
She is violin and viola professor and the philosopher-in-residence at the Festival de musica de Santa Catarina in Brazil where she presents an annual public lecture series on music and philosophy. As a philosopher, she practices philosophy at the intersection of art theory, labor theory and public sphere theory.
Born in Los Angeles, Clara was educated at UCLA and The University of Chicago. She has also been part of Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine neurology research team for primary progressive aphasia and created a COVID intervention for patients and doctors through music which was featured by the Wall Street Journal and NBC Nightly News.
