Lecturer, pianist, and physician Richard Kogan returned to Dubway with his regular collaborator, Grammy-Award winner and ex-Deutsche Grammophon producer Thomas Mowrey, to produce a short film of one of his trademark lecture-recitals on psychology and music. We wrote about Kogan and Mowrey’s previous visit here, in which they produced a similar piece on the music of Chopin.

Dubway’s creative professionals Pascal McGilvray-Guard and Keenan DuBois worked with Kogan and Mowrey to edit and mix the video and audio for the piece, respectively. Kogan’s lecture, which can be viewed below, covers the music and psychology of Tchaikovsky, and features Kogan’s magnificent piano playing and thoughtful analysis as he guides the viewer through the life of the great composer.

Dr. Kogan’s programs on the psychological origins of musical creativity in the great composers are presented at prestigious venues throughout the world, including the World Economic Forum in Davos and Rockefeller University, in New York.
