MOISA SUMMER

SCHOOL IN ANCIENT GREEK MUSIC

Trento, 29 giugno-03 luglio 2015 Dipartimento di Lettere e Filosofia,

Aula 001 - via Tommaso Gar 14, Trento

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.

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 be of interest also to Secondary School teachers wishing to enhance their backgrounds or acquire continuing education training.

Lessons will be taught in 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 as well as additional remarks offered by the other lecturers.

At the end of the School, all the students will be given a certificate confirming their attendance to the Summer School. In addition, after passing the final test, each student will be granted 3CFU=ECTS by the University of Trento.
