Since ancient times, music has been regarded as a central medium for the artistic exploration of the topic of "peace", the various facets of which will be examined in the lecture series "Music and Peace" organised by the Detmold/Paderborn Musicology Seminar. In this context, Prof. Dr. Claudia Bergmann from Paderborn University will give a lecture on Wednesday, 10 December on the topic of "Ancient rituals and modern a capella singing: "The Maccabeats" set the Jewish concept of Tikkun Olam to music". The event will take place from 6.15 pm in the Kuppelsaal of the Detmold University of Music (Willi-Hofmann-Str. 5). Admission is free.
The focus of "Music and Peace" is on compositions and performance contexts from the 17th to the 21st century and the associated questions about the respective musical form, the effect, their instrumentalisation for power politics or their usability in educational contexts.
More information on the lecture series and an overview of further dates can be found on the event page.
