Eventfrom April 5, 2006 until April 8, 2006Academy 2006
In 2006 the Orpheus Institute organizes the fourth International Orpheus Academy for Music Theory. The Academy focuses on ‘Music and Theory: Thoroughbass in Practice, Theory, and Improvisation.’
The multidisciplinary approach of this theme is different from other seminars, in the sense that a lively interaction between music theory, music history, performance practice, aesthetics, and related sciences is the point of departure.
The following guest professors will give several lectures and participate in panel discussions:
- John Butt, University of Glasgow, Scotland
- Thomas Christensen, University of Chicago, USA
- Robert O. Gjerdingen, Northwestern University, Evanston, USA
- Ludwig Holtmeier, Hochschüle für Musik in Freiburg, Germany
- Rudolf Lutz, Tufts University, Massachusetts, USA
- Giorgio Sanguinetti, University of Rome, Italy
