The Department of Music, University of California, San Diego presents the Intercultural Music (IcM) Conference and Concerts! For concert information, please click the “concerts” tab above (Oh yes, we feature GREAT music).
The goal of IcM is twofold:
(1) By studying music that mobilizes more than one culture, our conference facilitates conversation between academics, composers, performers, and computer musicians through panels, concerts, and pre- and post-concert discussions.
(2) We also help the public understand intercultural music through concerts and discussion panels.
After being utilized in public and intellectual discourse for years, what does the term “intercultural” mean today? What are the problems and prospects of cultural representation, hybridization, and contemporary performance practices in intercultural music?
Presentations may, for example, choose to reflect on the scholarship of musicologist Cynthia Tse Kimberlin, examine the music of Akin Euba, or apply the theories of Arjun Appadurai to one’s own work. All conference content, upon the agreement of panelists and performers, will be documented on the UC San Diego Music Department website for the perusal of the wider musical, scholarly, and public communities.
For any questions: please e-mail sdicm2016 at gmail dot com
We look forward to seeing you in San Diego in February 2016!
