Date: 5 to 7 April 2017
Venue: Ibero-American Institute, Berlin

The Ibero-American Institute Berlin (IAI) and the University of the Arts Berlin (Universität der Künste: UdK) in cooperation with the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) present the international conference Trayectorias / Cultural Exchanges: Music between Latin America and Europe 1945–1970.
The conference will focus on the developments of art music in the 1950s and 1960s. The topic was first discussed by scholars during the I IAI / UdK International Colloquium hosted by the VI UFRJ International Symposium of Musicology “Cultural Exchanges: Music Between Latin America and Europe”, held in Rio de Janeiro, August 2015. The initiated exchange of current research findings and issues will be continued and broadened in Berlin in April 2017. Paper presentations and posters will focus on the transfer and reciprocal appropriation of ideas, repertories, aesthetics, styles, and techniques, musical practices and theoretical reflection in musicology. The symposium will investigate relevant travels either for guest performances or studies, exile as well as other temporary or long-lasting migration. Papers and posters will also consider society and ideology as well as government politics, sponsoring and institutional strategies will also be considered. The conference’s organizers welcome participants from transdisciplinary studies, visual arts, theatre, literature, philosophy, history, sociology and cultural anthropology that are connected with music or musicology.

Simultaneously, there will be held the VIII UFRJ International Symposium of Musicology.
