Exciting discussion upcoming: In the framework of the international lecture series of the Gesellschaft für Musiktheorie, which I have the pleasure of co-organising, there will be an online panel on the topic »Political Pressure and Abuse of Power in Academia and Music Institutions« next Thursday, 13 June, at 7 pm CEST. The composers Stefan Pohlit and Vladimir Rannev will discuss their experiences of ideological influence, discrimination, and institutional violence executed by their former employers in Türkiye and Russia. We are pleased to have music theorist Ellen Bakulina as a session chair.
Looking forward to an intriguing and possibly controversial exchange of thoughts! If you would like to join, please register via the GMTH website in order to receive the Zoom link.
