On Tuesday, May 13, the Laboratoire de Musicologie of the Université libre de Bruxelles will host a workshop dedicated to the relation between music and migration, and to the methods used for analysing, preserving, and transmitting musical heritage. Speakers will take participants on a journey through time and across the globe — from 16th-century Venice (Iain Fenlon) to the musical practices of today’s migrant communities in Brussels (Stéphanie Weisser and Hélène Sechehaye), from confessional Europe between 1550 and 1650 (Matthew Laube) to the ethnomusicology archives of the AfricaMuseum (Rémy Jadinon).
The FWA is pleased to contribute to this event by supporting the participation of Iain Fenlon, Emeritus Professor at the Faculty of Music of the University of Cambridge. Professor Fenlon, together with Professor Marie-Alexis Colin—convenor of this workshop—was the promoter of a research project funded by the FWA from 2014 to 2017, in which Matthew Laube also took part as a postdoctoral researcher.
The complete programme of the workshop is available on the website of the Laboratoire de Musicologie
