International Summer School | Music, humanities, and science: instrument making (MuHAS)

29.08 – 02.09.2022 | Les Mans | França

 

 

 

Sorbonne University's Collegium Musicæ is setting up a program of international thematic summer schools, with the ambition to promote multidisciplinarity between humanities and sciences in the field of music. It intends to bring together young researchers (doctoral and post-doctoral students, etc.) from the 4 EU+ Alliance and beyond, for a week of training during which they will learn, through theoretical courses and practical workshops, as much as they will consider the tools and skills upon a common base of multi-disciplinary knowledge.
 
The first thematic summer school on Music and Science organized in partnershipwith the Institut Technologique Européen des Métiers de la Musique Le Mans will focus on instrument making. Through a series of workshops and conferences, it will focus on two major instrumental categories, plucked strings and wind instruments. These instrumental categories will be explored from several vantage points, from the humanities, from the sciences and from hands-on practice, thus articulating music, musicology, acoustics and instrument making. These convergent perspectives raise several questions and learning objectives, also in terms of multidisciplinarity. We will offer to question and evaluate collectively these multiple approaches which can be structured around a specific object and which will be declined on several major themes, which bring out pluridisciplinary questions:
 
  • the status of the facsimile and the question of historically informed performance practice
  • instrument-making and playing
Through its first summer school "Music, humanities, and science: instrument making", the Collegium Musicæ aims to promote multidisciplinary studies on music, between sciences and humanities. For this reason, the costs including participation, equipment and supplies, accommodation and meals are covered by the Collegium Musicæ. Travel costs and registration fees (100€) are in charge of participants.
