Second International MOISA SUMMER SCHOOL IN
ANCIENT GREEK MUSICTrento, 29th June-03rd July 2015
Department of Humanities, Room 001 - via Tommaso Gar 14, Trento, Italy
Following the great success of last year’s event, the University of Trento is pleased to host the second ‘Moisa Summer School in Ancient Greek Music’. This school brings together for five days many of the most renowned specialists in the field of ancient Greek music and presents excellent academic introductions to the numerous disciplines involved in these studies - by nature interdisciplinary, given the complex character of the Greek concept of μουσική. The Summer School aims at providing a detailed and comprehensive overview of the most important issues involved in the study of ancient Greek music, both in terms of musical theory and instrumental performance; in addition, students will be introduced to the key theoretical concepts employed in these studies and to the bibliographic resources they may use to pursue further studies independently.
