On March 23, 2023, the Boston University School of Theology with the generous support of the Lowell Institute was proud to sponsor the bi-annual Lowell Lecture in the Howard Thurman Center for Common Ground. The lecture by Dr. Bill Banfield (STH’88), entitled “…when artists go to work…” sought to demonstrate the spiritual dimension of artistic and musical expression. As part of the lecture, Dr. Banfield conducted the Imagine Orchestra, the orchestra in residence at Longy Conservatory of Bard College where Dr. Banfield is senior scholar in residence. The responsive panel was moderated by Interim Director of the Howard Thurman Center for Common Ground Nick Bates.
