Congress

The merge of traditional musical elements with classical music contributes to the creation of a more global transcultural music. Musicologists, Musicians, and Composers will discuss recent developments of avant-garde music from an Arab and German perspective.

In the Arab world, however, this movement is not perceived in its diversity. The aim of the ‘First Congress for Avant-Garde Arab Music’ is to bring together practitioners and researchers to discuss possible approaches to further develop Arab academic music and their possible societal benefits such as music education and music therapy.
The event consists of three parts: 1) an academic symposium, 2) a hands-on music workshop for students as well as 3) a public concert.
