Call for Papers

What are and were the roles of different musical instruments in their communities and how are they changing? What are the key factors enabling and influencing these changes? How does the process of internationalisation of regional instruments and their use in artificial music influence their construction, practice and social status? How do composers influence these processes?

Contributions falling within the field of musicology, ethnomusicology, organology, music theory as well as ethnology, sociology and general humanities are welcome. The scope of the symposium is open to any musical instrument regardless of its region or ethnical origin.

Selected papers with topics falling within the scope of musicology, ethnomusicology, organology and music theory will be published upon peer review in Živá Hudba/Living Music Review, a periodical of the Music and Dance Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. Written papers are not mandatory for presentation at the symposium.

This symposium will be conducted in English.
