Following the great success of the previous two editions of the Music as Heritage course, in 2021 we continue online! Music as Heritage: an Interdisciplinary Approach in Theory and Practice will provide insight into the methodology and approaches of modern musicology as an integral part of heritage studies.
In the 2021 Music as Heritage: an Interdisciplinary Approach in Theory and Practice online summer university course we use music as a tool for analyzing and describing social changes, the interaction of state policies, culture, cultural heritage, and audiences.
The course relies greatly on CEU lecturers and leading scholars in the field, such as Peter Laki from Bard College, Rachel Harris and Angela Impey from SOAS, Jonathan Stock from University College Cork and Martin Stokes from King’s College London.
– The course builds on a highly interdisciplinary academic approach to modern musicology, thus it is open to other fields of study as well. In focus: the many aspects of musical heritage management.
– This summer the course will place its focus on Béla Bartók, one of the most influential composers of the 20th century and one of the forefathers of ethnomusicology today.
– Participants will have the opportunity to develop their individual, cultural heritage related projects under the guidance of our experienced instructors.
– The 7-day intensive summer course requires active participation, daily 4-6 hours, and offers an inspiring, close and friendly atmosphere.
– Implemented on an easy-to-handle, integrated, multifunctional e-learning platform.

FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS YEARS
“This course has allowed me to look at my own cultural heritage in an objective way. As a musician who works in both traditional and contemporary fields, I cannot describe the value that this has added onto my professional life.”
“What is special about this programme is that the very best ethnomusicologists, social anthropologists, archaeologists and other social scientists from America, UK, and Central Europe alike, as well as event managers and music practitioners, are all coming together and engaging in intimate formal as well as informal sessions (including trips, dinners, parties, lectures, fieldwork, etc.”
