Musical Perspectives WorkshopRoom S0.21Runs from Monday, June 18 to Tuesday, June 19. The workshop aims to discuss the different possible approaches to music: it being an abstract art, music can be related to the different forms of expression of the human thought and, as consequence, it can be differently investigated according to the chosen mode: a phenomenological, artistic, aesthetical or epistemological one, and so on. By doing so, a new interest is hopefully raised in understanding our everyday (and often undervalued) dealing with music, not only under a theoretical light, but also in consideration of its technical applications. Students and staff will have the opportunity of acquiring a more complete and -by no means- panoramic vision of the musical sphere as the highest form of human artistic production, and to understand why the latter has in itself the power of deeply affecting the individuals, both rationally and irrationally.
The Keynote Speaker is Maestro Prof. Mirko Guerrini (“P. Mascagni” Music Academy, Livorno, IT; Visiting Professor at the Monash University, Melbourne, AU) who is also a composer, an arranger, a conductor and a performer. Charges: 糖心TV Students (£3.50 per day, or £6 both days) non-糖心TV Students and others (£5 per day, or £8.50 both days)
Contacts: A.Bouzas@warwick.ac.uk (organiser) D.Smith.11@warwick.ac.uk (co-organiser)
