BALTIC MUSICOLOGY CONFERENCE
Music History Transcends National Borders: Music Culture and Micro-, Meso-, Macro-regions
From 29 to 31 of October Baltic Musicology Conference “Music History Beyond State Borders: Music Culture and Micro-, Meso-, Macro-Regions”. Organised in cooperation with the International Musicological Society (IMS) Study Group “Music and Cultural Studies” (headed by Dr. Tatjana Markovic, University of Vienna), the conference aims at a close examination and interpretation of the embodiment and embeddedness of musical phenomena, the cultural ranges of musical genres and practices, from the smallest of homelands (micro-regions) to the global context.
The Baltic Musicology Conference is the most important musicological forum in Lithuania, this year bringing together scholars from Europe, the USA, and Asia to discuss cultural and regional connections and exclusions, identifications and repercussions. Guest speakers will include prominent figures in research on topics relevant to the conference: historian Professor Dr. Jörg Hackmann (University of Szczecin, AABS/Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies), musicologists Dr. Rasika Ajotikar (University of Hildesheim) and Prof. Dr. Tatjana Marković (Austrian Academy of Sciences). The conference includes special sessions and a panel discussion on digital humanities and the dissemination of its methodologies in music editing practices.
The Baltic Musicology Conference will take place at the Juozas Karosas Hall and the Balcony Theatre of the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre (Gedimino 42, Vilnius).
