Identity and Musical Communities | 2025

University of Minho [online] | 15.12.2025
Colloquium on identity, communities and musical practices.

About

Within the diversity and cultural specificity in which it is practiced, music — whether art music or vernacular, written or orally transmitted — constitutes, in its theorisation, production, and reception, a factor in the construction and negotiation of individual and collective identities.

Drawing on contributions from the diverse domains of musicological research, this meeting aims to present a reflection on artistic research, performance, and the community impact of music.
