/ 25/05/2010 / codexThe term contemporary music is constantly changing, in principle it includes all contemporary music. But what is musical quality today? How and where is this music presented? The good old concert is still the foremost and “best” form of experiencing music. And why not? Surely the music is enough in itself?
Welcome to a conversation that will touch on topics such as* Musical craftsmanship and nyamatørism* Performing composers and creative performers* Art music versus popular music?* Music's surroundings and the problematization of these* Musical experience - is it only about sound?
Chair: Torgny Amdam
