Lecture series
The university as a think tank
The musicology lecture series is a central event for the entire university. Each semester, it addresses a different overarching and relevant topic. Internationally renowned speakers present insights and outlooks in cooperation with musicology and the artistic departments at the university: on contemporary musical life, on music-historical questions, on composers, on central aspects of the history of music in Europe. Science and art enter into a dialogue, and everyone is invited to get to know the university as a place of knowledge transfer, as a thinking workshop.
Dates
- All lecture series take place on Wednesdays from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. in the Chamber Music Hall of HfMT Cologne.
- The lecture series at HfMT are public events. Visitors from outside the university are welcome.
- Lectures in the field of dance studies are open to the public. Please inquire for dates.
Lecture series in the summer semester 2024
- April 10, 2024 to July 10, 2024
- Guest professor Dr. Erol Köyen
This lecture series explores boundaries: Boundaries between music and
sound, between disciplines and scientific cultures, boundaries of
history, religion, nationality, affiliation, boundaries of time and
space, boundaries of affect and sound atmosphere. And last but not least:
Borders that migration creates and borders that have been shaped by migration
.
The lecture, which is part of the
project "Kölner Musikgeschichten" organized by Professor Sabine Meine,
itself embodies this approach: not only are colleagues from ethnomusicology,
historical musicology and music education
invited, but also from anthropology, religious studies
and other disciplines. They bring different national backgrounds
with them, from Germany, Turkey and the USA. Together,
they will not exactly proclaim the abolition of all boundaries, but
set out in search of new boundaries and their resonances,
to explore new sound spaces.
