Early Music in the Web age
Available throughout the Summit:
Keynotes | Reinhard Strohm, musicologist / Margaret Murata, musicologist

Musicology today: the web has brought many great opportunities for musicologists to share their work, to access sources more easily, to make any research available at (almost) no cost. However, does this mean that researchers are better connected, and more aware of each other’s research? Does it mean that musicians and other professionals from the sector have what it takes to better understand and access research? This session aims at exploring the state of musicology today and its link with performance.
