MCICM’s first symposium ‘Rehearsing Orchestral Innovation’ invites delegates from the professional and amateur music sector, classical music industry, music education, and academic and artistic research on musical performance and audience engagement.
The two-day programme, consisting of panels and hands-on workshops, focuses on innovation through collaborations between professional practice, arts education, and research.
It takes the music rehearsal as a starting point for rethinking the ritual of orchestral performance. Rehearsing music mobilises existing knowledge and expertise, yet aims at new qualities in a performance. We will explore and debate the societal role of classical music and its relevance; new ways in which audiences can participate in and value classical music concerts; and the symphony orchestra as an ‘archive’ that enables (re)discovering musical cultures of the past.
At the end of the first symposium day, prof. dr. Peter Peters will give his inaugural speech as newly appointed director of the Maastricht Center for the Innovation of Classical Music (MCICM).
The cost for attending this event is €30 for one day, €50 for two days. Please visit the MCICM website for further information about the event, including the full programme and registration.
