This talk considers unexpected opportunities and insurmountable challenges presented by these transitions, as seen in a pair of Berlin residencies by the Latvian musician Hardijs Ledi\u0146\u0161, co-founder of the legendary underground group NSRD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It examines partnerships formed between West German organizations and the Latvian Artists&#8217; Union and KGB, how opportunities provided by Western partners could re-inscribe the stark social hierarchies of Soviet life, and how efforts to provide Soviet artists with support could not only open previously unimagined possibilities but also bolster what sometimes proved to be impossible expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kevin C. Karnes <\/strong>is Professor of Music and Divisional Dean of Arts at Emory University (Atlanta, USA), and Visiting Professor of Musicology at the J\u0101zeps V\u012btols Latvian Academy of Music.
