Overview
Collaborative Partnership between the School of Music, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts and the International Musicological Society (IMS). International Intercongressional Symposium of the International Musicological Society (IMS), entitled “Agency and Identity in Music” and taking place in Lucerne from 7-10 July 2019. The symposium focuses – as far as music scholarshop is concerned – for the first time ever interplay between agency and identity that plays roles in the creation, performance, communication, and reception of music. To articulate and operationalize the many ways in which agency and identity define themselves in and through music, the symposium invites proposals that explore the acting and identifying through music, the construction of identity in music, and the interconnectedness of these phenomena in the performance, perception and mediation of music of all cultures and periods.
