FIRST INTERNATIONAL MOISA SUMMER SCHOOL

Transcription

1 FIRST INTERNATIONAL MOISA SUMMER SCHOOL IN ANCIENT GREEK MUSIC TRENTO, JUNE 2014 The first edition of the Moisa Summer School in Ancient Greek Music aims at bringing together for five days many of the most renowned specialists in the field of ancient Greek music and provide scientifically excellent introductions to the numerous disciplines involved in these studies by nature interdisciplinary, given the complex character of the Greek concept of µμουσικήή. Given its well- established tradition of research excellence in classical and philosophical studies, especially in relation to the performance of ancient Greek poetry, the Department of Humanities of the University of Trento is the ideal place to host this event. The strong scientific relevance of this event for the University of Trento is reflected by the strong and committed support of many members of staff, whose research interests range from disciplines traditionally involved in the study of ancient Greek music (e.g. Greek literature and philosophy) to more recent acquisitions, such as musicological and archaeological disciplines. This event is also promoted by the Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici della Provincia di Trento an institution that has been active in the field of ancient Greek music for many years: from , the Soprintendenza has hosted seven editions of the conference series L orizzonte sonoro del mondo antico, organised by Prof. Roberto Melini. Finally, the Summer School has been endorsed by MOISA (The International Society for the Study of Greek and Roman Music and its Cultural Heritage and the Arion Society.

2 AIMS OF THE SUMMER SCHOOL The Summer School aims at providing students with a detailed and comprehensive overview of the most important scientific issues involved in the study of ancient Greek music, both in terms of musical theory and of instrumental performance. The students will be introduced to the key theoretical concepts necessary for these studies and to the bibliographic resources they may use in order to continue their studies autonomously. The School is designed primarily for university students, both undergraduate and graduate, and for scholars interested in the study of ancient Greek music. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the subjects, the School may also be of interest to Secondary School teachers wishing to enhance their backgrounds or acquire continuing education training. The lessons will be taught in Italian and English. Each session will be devoted to a specific question or sub- discipline and will comprise a lecture followed by extended time for questions from the students and additional observations/integrations to the lectures offered by the other teachers. Great emphasis will be given to the importance of this exchange between students and teachers as well as between the teachers themselves, so as to create a fertile environment fostering high quality education.
